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. Morris Rogoff Scholarship Fund, 259 Mack Avenue, Detroit, MI 48201, do Kathleen Blumberg.
