This is great news!! Read the message below.

My heart wrenched as I watched this video. It was a hard video to watch, especially when Andrew answered the question: Do you want to die at home or in a hospice?" A powerful reminder of hospices' vital work in providing compassionate care during difficult times. I asked myself what was it like for Andrew to make that video. In those first few seconds, you could see a change in his expression as he answered, realising that whatever brought him to St Francis Hospice - who are very good, by the way - his situation was undeniably real. It's a tough place to be. Watching this video made me reflect on how often we are encouraged to be grateful for even the slightest things. While this is a good practice, I invite you to take this further. Consider this: Are you noticing what you are constantly thinking about? Are you replaying past situations, incidents or comments that hurt you? Do you continue to relive it? Because stress is widely recognised as a significant factor contributing to many illnesses. Notice what you are thinking about and ask yourself if those thoughts are serving you to live a happier life. Is it worth it? As morbid as it sounds, the Stoics had a phrase worth remembering: memento mori—remember you will die - as a profound reminder of our mortality and the impermanence of life. I repeat it to myself whenever I notice I'm making a big deal out of nothing. Make the most of your week ahead.

Hospice care can provide a great deal of comfort and support to families in need. It allows patients to spend their final days in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by loved ones. Hospice professionals provide emotional and spiritual support to patients and their families, helping them to cope with the end-of-life journey. The good of hospice care is that families can feel at ease knowing their loved ones are receiving compassionate care and support during their final days. Unfortunately, not all hospice experiences are positive. There have been cases where patients have received poor care, or have been neglected by hospice professionals. It's important for families to do their research and choose a reputable hospice care provider. The bad of hospice care is that families may experience subpar care, leading to unnecessary stress and anxiety during an already difficult time. In some cases, patients have experienced abuse from hospice care professionals. This is a rare occurrence, but it highlights the importance of being vigilant and reporting any suspicious behavior. The ugly of hospice care is that some patients have experienced harm at the hands of those who are supposed to be providing them with care and support.

Many if not most of our businesses are “people” businesses. It’s not like driving past the Caterpillar yards where the company owns 1000 dirt movers. No, most of our businesses are people… people are the capital. Well, if people are hired and trained and managed by the HR team, then awards like the one this company has earned mean the people who recruited, hired, and trained those people -quite simply built the success of the organization. What a great award for a great business and an even better HR Director. (Bias on display here 😬)
