Abstract
One of Canada's newest hospices, located in Oakville, Ont., was designed to help dying patients live and die peacefully. Another of its important roles is to help family members cope with the uncertainty and loneliness that surrounds a death in the family. "There are so many people out there without support," says its founder, Margaret Anderson.
