Southern Grace is proud to present another Education Series- Today we’re honored to introduce our beautiful Medical Director, Dr. Brianna Shaffer, as she speaks openly and compassionately about the role of morphine in different care settings. In the hospital, families often feel comfortable with morphine because they see it used every day to ease pain and relieve shortness of breath—yet when care moves into the home, fear and uncertainty can take over. Dr. Shaffer addresses one of the biggest myths and misconceptions surrounding morphine: that it hastens death or makes it happen faster. In truth, when used appropriately, morphine does not shorten life—it improves comfort, reduces distress, and allows patients to rest and breathe easier. Today’s conversation is about education, reassurance, and empowering families with facts so they can choose comfort without fear.

💕 Coordinating Care with Heart💕

Valentine’s Day is all about love — the quiet kind, the faithful kind, the show-up-every-day kind. And in hospice, that’s exactly the kind of love we see… and the kind of love we give.

Love is coordinating medications so a patient can rest comfortably.
Love is answering the late-night phone call with reassurance.
Love is sitting at the bedside holding a hand in silence.
Love is supporting families through hard conversations and tender moments.

This Valentine’s Day, we celebrate the beautiful privilege of loving people through one of life’s most sacred journeys. We are honored to walk beside our patients and families — coordinating care with dignity, grace, and a whole lot of heart. ❤️

Because in hospice, love isn’t just a holiday.
It’s what we do every single day. 💗

As our first year in 2025 came to a close, Southern Grace Hospice had the honor of bringing home multiple awards and accolades—a true reflection of what an incredible year it has been.

These recognitions mean more to us than words can say because they represent the trust, support, and belief our community has shown us. Acadiana, you showed up for us in the most meaningful way, and we are deeply grateful.

We are honored to share this success with the entire Acadiana area and proud to be a locally owned and operated hospice, dedicated to serving families with compassion, dignity, and grace.

Thank you for entrusting us with your loved ones and allowing us to do what we do best—care from the heart. We are humbled, thankful, and committed to continuing to be one of the best hospice providers around.

The underutilized benefit of Hospice.

Will this bad habit of not accessing this benefit ever change? Who’s responsibility is it to refer? The providers or the patient?

The amount of humans who pass away without hospice is heartbreaking. We are not talking about a sudden death or accidental deaths. We are referring to individuals that are no longer curable and aggressive measures are now just a “bandaid”. We hear of individuals who spend their last year or months in and out of the hospital, with no improvement and lacking comfort and quality. We hear of people who are hospitalized for weeks with decline and with no improvement, but hospice isn’t offered. We hear of patients in nursing homes and assisted livings, experiencing the “silent transition”, with no additional care like hospice. We have witness adult children and elderly spouses, as caregivers at home, with no additional support. We watch home health being ordered on repeat for an option, but many of the individuals do not have rehab potential. We watch hired homecare not providing clinial care, so individuals can’t be managed at home and just end up in the hospital.

We hear and witness all of the above daily because we work in hospice. For years, We have been shouting at the top of our lungs that hospice is a HUGE benefit that HELPS, and doesn’t cost a thing. Hospice comes to you, wherever “home” is and almost ALL insurances pays for it 100%. That’s it! No strings attached. If you don’t like it, you can always discontinue the services. There are zero penalties in discontinuing the care.
