Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care’s Post

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.

Interim Hospice was honored to welcome Dr. Bill Hoy, esteemed author and grief resource consultant, to our Greenville office for an enlightening workshop. Dr. Hoy's insightful presentation, "What Keeps Us Going? Finding Meaning and Joy in Hospice Work," gave our hospice staff invaluable guidance and inspiration.

Did you know you can always transfer from one #hospice company to another? While we all follow the same rules, our values and beliefs are different. I always encourage everyone to focus on companies that put the patient first and not just a company that is solely based on hitting their numbers. Here are Precious, we focus on the family and the patient. As someone who had both of their parents on hospice in 2022, I know what you’re going through. Big business hospice companies shouldn’t exists. Always look for the community based hospice.

Instead, just focus on understanding hospice options. The rest will take care of itself. Making informed decisions about end-of-life care can be tough. At Lighthouse Hospice, we're here to guide you through, respecting your loved one's wishes and cultural needs. Let's talk about what's right for your family.
