Love, Death and Politics

Grand Rapids, Michigan: do you think hillary would have fared better if she didn't have the other clinton as her shadow--and her years as first lady?
The answer is yes -- Bill Clinton proved to be a big negative in the race. However, Hillary Clinton wouldn't be where she is today as a senator from New York, a state she had never lived in, if she didn't have the catapult of her First Lady years.

Shreveport Louisiana: Ms. Clift how did Hospice help you in dealing with Tom's death. Thanks-Hospicegirl
I've become an advocate for Hospice, and serve on the board of the National Hospice and Palliative Care organization. When Tom went into the care of hospice, we received services at home, everything from excellent pain management to home health care aides and counseling from a social worker. It's holistic care for the patient as well as the family once death is inevitable and imminent.

Eleanor Clift: Thanks so much for all your questions. I hope that sharing my experience in the context of the debate over Terri Schiavo is helpful to others who might be facing similiar experiences in their own life. Sincerely, Eleanor Clift
