Involvement in hospice care brings us face to face with the issue of mortality. There are two sides to mortality – living and dying. So often, we allow the latter to overshadow the former. In reality, there is no death without life.
Living is a state of the mind as much as a state of the body as both mind and body are intricately linked. Hospice care endeavours to support both. Relief of pain and other symptoms are important to bring about comfort to the physical body. Having a positive mind-set even in the presence of increasing physical weakness makes it possible for the patient and family to look at the silver lining of the dark cloud and to have hope to move on in life. A common misconception of the public is that hospice care implies hopelessness and thus is only for those whose death is imminent. On the contrary, hospice care can be associated with life and hope, albeit in the context of understanding our mortality. It can thus play a role even in the earlier part of a life-threatening illness like cancer. In the face of tough challenges, it helps to have some people coming alongside us – giving us practical as well as moral support. In essence, that’s what hospice care is all about – supporting those going through tough challenges in the face of a life-threatening disease.

TESTIMONY BY SIEW CHOO:
I was told that my lumpectomy result was malignant in June 2007. A total mastectomy was done. Thank God for His peace, comfort and Presence. His Word plus a loving and caring family and friends proved invaluable. Psalms 23 in the Bible comforted me during the operation.
When I came to know that I had breast cancer, I was ready to face it. Psalms 71 in the Bible reminded me that Jesus is my stronghold and my strength… I know very well my Saviour will never leave me or forsake me.
The effects of chemotherapy were minimal. Even though I lost my hair God provided me a wig. Yet again He is my JEHOVAH JIREH. It' s only by His grace and mercy I survived this crisis and I thank Him for each new day. To God be the glory!

My family and I asked God to help us. In my fight against cancer, I have the support from my family, especially my husband. During my sickness, I experienced peace, confidence and strength. I have also learnt to eat well, to exercise, to relax and to give thanks.
