AccentCare’s Post

12 years ago, my grandmother died alone in a hospice care facility, after spending 4 months there in a coma. She survived a tough motherhood with 3 children after her husband was killed in the Korean War. She sacrificed so much for her children, her grandchildren, and her great grandchildren. I wish I could have helped my grandmother plan so she didn't have to leave her home at the end of her life. To me, my grandmother's death is a stark reminder that open communication and planning are crucial. The best time for planning is now. #estateplanning #longtermcare #family https://lnkd.in/epgVyiC9

The Family Firm Institute - FFI has featured Meredith Wilson Parfet's article "Crisis as Catalyst in Family Enterprise: Do We Pull Together or Pull Apart?" in their Insight Series. Meredith shares her unique observations from her roles as a crisis management expert, hospice chaplain, and death doula. This article offers a preview of Meredith's upcoming talk at the FFI conference in October, themed "Mean Time: Time, Timing, and Timelessness in Family Enterprise." “My experience has shown me that it is impossible to separate the personal and professional—one inexorably bleeds into the other. In crisis, those lines and boundaries become ever more transparent.” #familyenterprise #crisismanagement #fficonference #TheRavenyardGroup #professionaldevelopment #insightseries https://lnkd.in/gzNFhgMB

As a caregiver himself, Tim explains why it is important to forgive the people you're caring for when they say or do something hurtful. How do you forgive someone who doesn't feel any regret? How do you forgive someone who is no longer with us? Tim helps us figure out these tough questions.

Great to be in Westminster today representing Together for Short Lives and joining with partners Hospice UK Marie Curie UK Sue Ryder and National Bereavement Alliance to celebrate #DyingMatters week. It is absolutely crucial, in what is likely to be an election year, that all parties commit to making palliative and end of life care a priority for the next Parliament. For children and young people, this means addressing the £290K funding gap including committing long term to the #ChildrensHospiceGrant. It means strengthening local accountability for delivering to national requirements so we end the postcode lottery in the availability of palliative care for children. And it means developing a workforce with the capacity and skills to care for this increasingly medically complex children. Policy makers must move beyond warm words and take practical action.
