5 New Compassionate Rooms at the Miz

Misericordia Hospital, that is. People dying can have family and friends in a room which has a fridge and even the capacity to order in personalized meals. They need not be alone or separated from those closest to them.

I can still recall back in 1998, my mother and I leaving a hospital in Winnipeg to go for lunch as my Dad was dying and we came back to find he was gone. So I can really appreciate the convenience of what the former hospital is doing for patients on their way out.

My mother and I, as well as the hospital were sorry that we were not there when he suddenly died in an emergency situation. It is usually preferable–one would think–for people to die with support and not alone or just with people they may not know or recognize.
