Grief myth: Grief has a set timeframe, and you should move on after a certain period. The Reality: Grief doesn't have a deadline. For some, it may take months; for others, it may take years. The intensity of grief may lessen over time, but the loss can continue to affect a person throughout their life. Everyone heals at their own pace, and allowing oneself to grieve fully is important without imposing a time limit. #griefmyth #hospiceblog #hospice #endoflife #endoflifecare #griefsupport #homehealth #hospicelife #homehealthcare #montanahospice #billingsclinic #stillwaterhospice #billingsbusiness #billingshospice #hospiceinbillings

Stillwater Hospice and Seven Sisters Living Center in Hot Springs honored Shirley Ann Boman for her military service. Shirley Ann served as a Private First Class in the Army from October 16, 1963, to March 24, 1965. Following her honorable discharge from the Army, she used her GI Bill benefits to pay for nursing school. She then helped care for people living with dementia. Thank you for your service, Shirley! @sevensisterslivingcenter #wehonorvets #honoringvets #thankyouforyourservice #rapidcityhospice #stillwaterhospicesouthdakota #southdakotahospice #hotspringssd #southdakota

Some hospice patients at Stillwater Hospice need assistance learning new skills for daily tasks due to medical conditions like stroke, which can affect their ability to use utensils. Occupational, speech-language, or physical therapy may be prescribed by the medical team to help patients maintain function and independence. Additional therapies may also be offered by trained volunteers as needed.
