The aim of spiritual care in hospice is to help patients and their loved ones find peace through counseling and spiritual support, which we believe is essential as strive to maintain respect for those who are often tragically forgotten by society. We often forget the significance of mental and spiritual health as our loved ones near the end of their journey, which is why at Purdy Funeral Service we broaden the scope of preplanning to include hospice facilities and patient families.

"Little dove I love you so
but I know you had to go.
So spread your wings
and fly my love,
soar above the world my dove.
Paint the sky indigo,
let your graceful colors flow
and I’ll search the sky
for your rainbow."

The main indication that it may be time for hospice care is when symptoms become difficult to manage, including pain, nausea, or shortness of breath. If your loved one has been admitted to the hospital for symptom management, it may be time to look at your options. This is why end-of-life preplanning and deathcare support is so essential, and why we keep our inbox open for all preplanning questions.
