I'm here to ask for your best resources for hospice care. I'm looking for research on end of life and I couldn't find much about it. I want to know more about the common issues that come up with end-of-life care, expected and problematic. Also, if there's any research in the different diagnoses and how the care changes, that would be interesting, too.
Does anyone have any good resources I can read or look stuff up in? I want to know more about the physiology of why stuff happens so I can know a little more about what to expect. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

There are several good websites and organizations that are helpful to hospice and palliative care professionals.
The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization
start here, you will see links to other resources sites...
