I am a nurse manager of an Assisted Living. Not long ago, I noticed that one of my Hospice residents had a lovely cashmere throw. It was always with her whether she was up in her wheelchair or resting in bed. She would snuggle with it and be comforted. When my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 Melanoma I decided to get her a cashmere throw, hoping it would give her comfort also. Providing comfort at the end of life is everything. I bought this throw in September and it was / is just beautiful. It is soft as butter! Mom loved it and used it everyday until she died last month. When she past away, I took it home. Now, with Mom's scent on it, I hold it, caress it, smell it and it comforts me. It is something I will always treasure.
