My road to Hospice SLO County unknowingly began in late 2009 when my mom, Vicky Taylor, died of cancer just five weeks after I gave birth to my first child. We had hospice support for about a month and had a beautiful experience. I say “we” because the support was not just for my mom, but also for our entire family. After her passing, I found that being a new mom left me with little time or energy to process her death or grieve.
