List of Palliative Care Center(s) in Delhi/ NCR

Palliative care plays an important role,  while you take care of your your loved ones. As mentioned in my previous post, it is aimed at making life easier and comfortable for them.

We din't send papa to any care center, as we wanted him to be at home with us. So did papa! ( he made that quite clear in the very beginning of the treatment)

I, along with my daughter travelled everyday to  be with papa( the only thing that brought smile to papa was his naughty grand daughter and i din't wanted to take that away from him). The moment i used to reach, he would start complaining about everyone...( i miss you papa)

He was happiest, when all his children were around him and especially his only grand child. One of my muslim friend, once told me that there is saying, that people who breath their last surrounded by their children go to heaven. I am sure of that. I can see him everyday shining in the sky - the brightest STAR( my papa) 

We consider ourselves fortunate, as we all were with papa when the moment arrived...!

God was gracious, we were able to take care of my father( at least thats what i think). But for people, who are unable to take care of their  dear ones for some reason, can contact the following centers for palliative care.
