Shoq

I appreciate so much all the support I have gotten on 4 platforms about my mom’s passing. I am sorry that one post pissed-off some hospice fans and experts. I was working with info from others, not clinical experience. I wasn’t trying to “quench her thirst,” but to keep her organs functioning (after 72 hrs) while she was shedding an ill-advised sedation. As a lay person, I didn’t know hospice patients can go much longer without hydration. She was given Xanax AND morphine on intake, when her …

adverse reaction to Xanax was already IN THE RECORD. The entire context of complex human situations are not always adequately conveyed in one or two social media posts.

@shoq holy shit we're sorry you have to apologize for this

and very sorry for your loss as well

@shoq Shoq, I’m so sorry about all of this. Over the years, I have seen how deeply you have cared for your mom. It’s frustrating to have to clarify your thoughts and intentions to complete strangers, like me. 💜

@shoq Note to world: never, ever critique the behaviour of someone experiencing the death of someone close to them. There's context you know nothing about and, even if you could know what's going on inside them, it's never, ever, any of your business!

So sorry, Shoq 😔

@shoq wish I had words to convey the well wishes and warmth I feel for you and yours shoq, they're just not there, so let these pale whispers of them do the best they can instead. be well

@shoq sorry for your loss. I understand my love of my life husband was on hospice care at home from horrible liver cancer . He died in my arms Jan 9th 2024. It hurts I get it
