Renee Gruskin was incensed
when her husband's oncologist told Dr.
Alan Gruskin to "go home and plan your
funeral." After that, Alan would sit in a
chair, all night, every night, afraid to
sleep. "I was going crazy, in tears every
night," Renee says.
A friend suggested the Gruskins call
Jewish Hospice & Chaplaincy Network.
JHCN's warm and nurturing approach
made Renee realize the end-of-life could
be peaceful.
After Alan's death, Renee convinced
Wayne State University to add a seminar
series for senior medical students focus-
ing on the spiritual and emotional side of
end-of-life care. "Doctors have to
remember they are treating people — not
just a disease," Renee says.
