A Mother’s Story
As told to Nancy L. Jackson

M

y name is Christye Hamilton
and my son, Andrew Shoemake, is a patient of Home
Hospice of Grayson County. And, this
is my story.
As Andy’s illness became more advanced, I was encouraged to search
for a hospice. I strongly resisted as I
thought hospice was for those at the
end of their lives, but my friend told me
again to call Home Hospice of Grayson County.
They came to our home and I was
impressed with the nursing care they
provide, their explanations of what to
expect and how to deal with the future. \
