CLOSE-UP
Dying Means Living
Continued from preceding page
hours. But the pain won't
let her. Ms. Brady listens,
consults with her and then
looks at the medications.
Ms. Brady and Mrs. Gold-
berg will have several
more conversations about
medications through the
week, mostly on the tele-
phone.
Ms. Brady offers support
for many reasons. Her
word is kind and her de-
meanor is understanding
and tender. She knows her
patients are frightened.
"It's difficult not to get
close to our patients," Ms.
Brady said. "We become
family. People need a
closure to their lives. We
help them try to figure out
what that closure is.
"You know, this is not a
depressing business. It's
too humbling and rewar-
ding when you see someone
go through the program,
and see a person make
decisions about his own
life."
Closure, according to
Hospice social work super-
visor Linda Simpson, can
typically mean settling a
dispute with a relative or
friend. It means bringing
in a brother or sister the
patient has not seen in
years and saying goodbye.
The issue, she said, is
helping the patient figure
out, if he doesn't know al-
ready, what he needs to do
before dying. There's an
emphasis on the sprituality
of life, what gives life
meaning and what gives
dying meaning.
For physicians, the idea
of Hospice can present a
conflict. If a doctor's duty is
to keep a person alive, let-
ting him die seems to con-
tradict the medical man-
date. Dr. Robert E. Bloom,
Sinai Hospital's section
chief of hemotology-
oncology, said he doesn't
have a conflict with
Hospice.
"The goal of an ethical
oncologist is to present as
much quality time to those
that don't have a curable
disease," he said. "There is
a fairly clear consensus
that the prolongation of
misery is not a worthwhile
goal within itself.
"Everybody has a diff-
erent ability to deal with
his own mortality," Dr.
Bloom continued. "The
difficult issue is the
solidification of the realiza-

Jewish Hospice Fund
United Jewish Charities
and Jewish Family Service
have announced the creation
of a $250,000 endowment
fund by Jerry and Eileen
Bielfield for support of Jewish
hospice care in Southeastern
Michigan.
The Jerry and Eileen
Bielfield Jewish Hospice
Fund will provide for the
Jewish component of care for
people with terminal ill-
nesses and their families.
Preliminary discussions
already have taken place with
the Hospice of Southeastern
Michigan to supply medical
and nursing care, which
focuses on keeping the pa-
tient alert and comfortable in
the home as long as possible.
The fund will assist Jewish
Family Service in informing
families and individuals
about the Jewish hospice pro-
gram, educating hospice care
professionals about Jewish
customs and training Jewish
volunteers to work with
Jewish hospice patients.
Longtime president of the
Jewish House of Shelter, Mr.
Bielfield has served on the
boards of the Jewish Federa-
The Bielfields
tion of Metropolitan Detroit,
the Federated Endowment
Fund and the Detroit Service
Group.

hospice care, contact Jewish
Family Service, 559-1500. For

tributing to the Jewish
Hospice Fund, contact Joseph

Charities, 965-3939.
