Traveling Home with Jenny

Abstract

“Long before the hospice movement came to America, I helped parents support their terminally ill children to die at home. The week the veterinarian told me that Jenny was dying, I received a special gift from Jane Woodson, whose son Greg died at home from leukemia the year that Jenny was born. Jane put her personal experience and advice for other parents into the form of a booklet. This beautiful work of love has been published by the American Cancer Society under the title, ‘I Want to Go Home—Fulfilling My Child's Wish to Die at Home.”
