They say that eyes speak words that our lips can’t. That is true for this gentleman and his new bird. Look at the love in those eyes! When our Director, Kevin found out that one of our patients wanted a bird as a companion since he lost his wife, Kevin gave him his wish. Kevin is a hobby bird breeder and this beautiful bird also lost his partner and was lonely. Kevin said that it’s been a match made in heaven for both man and bird!

It was our pleasure to help show our gratitude to your staff and residents for nursing home week!

Many of you are finding yourselves with an empty chair at the table this year… some of you have been looking at that chair for many years.

Whether it is a holiday, or any day of the week, staring at the empty chair is not easy. Why not change things up a bit this year and add a place card with their name(s) and a candle, and as you sit down to eat, light the candle and talk about them, share a story and a favorite memory, and find reasons to smile. Invite them to join you at the table this year.

You can do this on special occasions or at every meal. There is nothing wrong with honoring them, wishing they were there, or saving them a seat.

Know that I am holding space for each of you during these difficult times, and that you are not alone.

Things I hear often…

“My mom started hospice and she died.”
“When you start hospice they give you morphine and you die.”
“Hospice is a death sentence.”

I am a hospice nurse, and I can only speak for myself, and how I provide care. My goal is to be there for both the patient and family, to truly listen to them about what they need and what matters most to them, and let them know that they have been heard, and to remove symptoms that are causing suffering of any kind.

If someone has been given a diagnosis with six months or less to live, they are already dying. Starting hospice will not speed up the process. Starting hospice can sometimes give you a little more time, simply by reducing pain and suffering. It doesn’t always happen, but sometimes it does.

I always want people to start hospice sooner because I truly believe their end of life journey will be gentler, and those who are preparing to say goodbye will have the tools, resources, and support that they need to be there for the person they love, knowing that they are not doing this alone.

My goal with my blogs, classes, books, and social media posts is to help educate about death and dying in such a way that it removes fear and uncertainty, and offers tools and resources to anyone who is dying or providing care for someone who is dying. I want to help improve the way people are cared for when they die, and when they grieve.
