		<description>Hello -
I am a documentary maker and hospice volunteer in Atlanta, Georgia. I took care of my parents in their last year of life and went through many of the decision-making milestones that so often come up when loved ones are near the end of life.

I’ve produced a short documentary about end-of- life decision making, palliative care, caregiving and hospice.

It’s called 203 Days.
You can view it in its entirety at the following University of Connecticut website along with a study guide.
http://fitsweb.uchc.edu/Days/days.html
It is an unflinching look at the day-to-day interactions between patient and caregiver, in this case an 89 year old woman who is living with her daughter.

203 Days recently won the First Place 2007 Film Award from the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO).

If you’d like more information please go to my website
http://bbarash.com/bb_203days.htm

I hope this film is helpful to people who want to know more about some of the most common experiences for caregiver and patient at this difficult time.

Sincerely,
Bailey Barash</description>
