We'd Love to Hear from You.

Share your thoughts so others can benefit.

Gretchen Hagen, Executive DirectorWe've tried hard to create a website that would be both helpful and comforting to you. Our goals have been to create an online environment that:

  • Offers you opportunities to reflect on the many miracles of life, and on how those miracles may affect the process of dying.
  • Provides you with tools and resources that can help you plan for and cope with the end-of-life journey.
  • Provides you with answers to the many questions you may have about the dying process.
  • Promotes the idea that there is hope and healing, even in dying.

We hope you will tell us whether our site is achieving the goals we've set, and more importantly, if it is meeting your needs.

PLEASE HELP US BUILD THIS SITE

We also hope you will help us improve the site over time. You can do so by sending us your comments, questions, or reflections, as well as your poems, photos, short stories and the like, which we'd like to post in the next revision we do to this site.

To get you started thinking about this, I've included one of my own favorite reflections at the bottom of this page.

Thank you, and best regards,

Gretchen Hagen, RN
Executive Director Hospice of The Gorge

The Road Not Taken


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

 

...Robert Frost
