Robert Stack of Orange, Virginia, is cared for in his home by his wife, Beverly (left), and a nurse named Ellen Colvin (right).
Beverly Stack, too, has trouble thinking of her husband's illness as terminal, but she is grateful that, at the doctor's urging, she made the call to the Hospice of Rapidan. "The nurses are giving me a lot of support," she says. "And that's what I need right now. They're here for him...and for me."
