Because Carter went into hospice three months ago and still hasn’t kicked the bucket.
They cued Carter’s death up as a delay tactic, and whatever they were expecting still hasn’t hit the airwaves.

Does anyone go to hospice nowadays? Only experience I've had is hospice comes to the nursing home. And, like others have said here, our most recent family death we were told she had days, maybe just hours to live. She lived for another three months and was in hospice care at her nursing home.
Yes. My mom had cancer (not vaxx), she lived alone at her home. My brother would take her to the chemo appointments. The tumors were shrinking, but it was too much for her 80 year old body. She wanted to discontinue treatment.
She was put on hospice (2021). My brother, sister, and I did her care by taking shifts so some one was with her 24x7. She was at her home. A nurse came in once a week to check vitals and an aide came in 2-3 times during the week to help with showers, etc. Pallative care only.
We did 3 months at her home like this. After that, my sister took her into her home full time. Nurse visits increased to 2 then 3 times per week.
Mom passed about 2.5 months later.
The entire time was considered "hospice". If she would have gotten strong enough to be fully on her own again, she would have lost the hospice status (hospital bed, commode, wheel chair, provided for home use; nurse visits at home, etc.) Evaluation for this status is every 6-12 months.
Many times if the person does not have someone avaiable or willing to care for them, hospice is done at a nursing home or care facility.
I'm sorry for your loss but it was wonderful for your mom that you all could keep her at home. Ours was already in a nursing home when they found the cancer. I absolutely believe it was the vax, which we tried to convince her not to get. She had a stroke shortly after getting it. They called us before Christmas and said the cancer had been found and was already beyond treatment. They expected her to die within hours. She hung on for three months. Hospice was throughout those months at the nursing home.
I am sorry for your loss as well. Take care, fren.
