Quotes to Note
"My experience is that women who miscarry are usually given a small window of sympathy; but women who have abortions often resort to using drugs and alcohol to cover up the pain because the people who told us it was OK to abort our babies, don't want to listen to our crying afterwards". -- Georgette Forney, an abortion survivor, co-founder of Silent No More Awareness Campaign  
 
Palliative Care Statement PDF Print E-mail

Palliative care is aimed at the relief of suffering and improving the quality of life for persons who are living with or dying from advanced illness or are bereaved.

It affirms life and regards dying as a normal process.

It neither hastens nor postpones death.

It provides relief from pain and other distressing symptoms.

It integrates the psychological and spiritual aspects of patient care.

It offers a support system to help patients live as actively as possible until death.

It offers a support system to help the family cope during the patient's illness and their own bereavement.  

[Canadian Palliative Care Association  www.cpca.net; http://www.physiciansforlife.ca/pallcare.html]
