Families are our number one priority. After a loss, the to-do list of estate affairs can feel daunting. So providing aftercare that helps make notifications and takes things off a family's plates makes your funeral home or hospice stand out. #Funeral #FuneralDirectors #Hospice #Estate #FamilyFeedback

Over the years, our team at Honor Hospice has had the privilege of speaking with many individuals in hospice as well as their families and friends. One common theme that has always stood out is the incredible impact of leaving behind something special for loved ones—whether it's a letter, a note, or a small gift. These acts of love become treasured memories, offering comfort and a sense of closeness even after passing. Many of those receiving hospice care have shared how meaningful it is to plan ahead, especially around things that hold personal significance—like a favorite holiday, milestone birthday, or cherished tradition. For example, one person took joy in writing Christmas cards for her grandchildren, planning them for the Christmas after she was gone. Knowing how much she loved this tradition, the kids found comfort in those cards during their first Christmas without her, feeling as if she was still part of the celebration. These moments are powerful. They help families and friends continue to create happy memories, to celebrate the bond that remains, and to feel the ongoing presence of their loved one in their lives. Others have written letters labeled, “Open me when you have a bad day,” or notes for a spouse that say, “Open me when you miss me sleeping beside you.” Some prepare messages for specific life events—a note for a first day of school, a graduation, or an important birthday. I encourage anyone in hospice to consider these small acts of love. It's a way to leave behind not just a memory, but a piece of your heart, to be felt and cherished during life’s special moments. # HonorHospice #Hospice #BecauseWeCare #ExpertCareExceptionalCompassion #HospiceCare #LastingMemories #LoveBeyond #CherishedMoments #FamilyForever
