Jimmy Carter's grandson gives update one year after former POTUS, 99, entered hospice care

It’s been a challenging year for former president Jimmy Carter as he entered hospice care, facing tough health issues. However, his spirit remains as strong as ever, as revealed by his devoted grandson, Jason Carter.

Despite the hardships the Carter family has endured, including the passing of Jimmy’s beloved wife, Rosalynn, and his own health struggles, they are filled with gratitude for the overwhelming support and love they have received.

In sharing an update on his grandfather’s condition, Jason Carter expressed, “After a year in hospice, on a daily basis, we have no expectations for his body. But we know that his spirit is as strong as ever.” These words truly capture the indomitable resilience and determination that have defined Jimmy Carter’s extraordinary life.

The entire Carter family is incredibly thankful for the outpouring of love and respect they have experienced during this trying time. They are heartened by the meaningful conversations sparked by Jimmy’s decision to enter hospice care, as it has encouraged important discussions about an often-overlooked subject.

Despite the odds, Jimmy Carter has exceeded expectations by remaining in the six percent of people who have lived beyond a year after entering hospice care. However, the loss of his cherished wife, Rosalynn, has deeply affected him. Dr. Michael Raines, his doctor, acknowledged the profound impact of this loss, stating, “When two people have been married for a long time and have a strong dependency on each other in love, relationship, and friendship, it’s not long until one follows the other.”
