One person cannot possibly do this work on their own. We are not a solo act. We are a team, and this team consists of caregivers, both personal and professional, volunteers who give their time unselfishly and generously simply to hold space and be present for another human being, any member of the hospice team, those who are preparing to say goodbye and are experiencing anticipatory grief, and anyone at a bedside holding the hand of someone who will soon take their last breath.

We are a community of compassionate souls, standing beside those facing life’s hardest moments, offering support not just to them, but to everyone who loves them.

End-of-life care is not something we do alone and our goal should be the same, to ensure that all human beings feel seen, heard, cared for well, and do not feel alone.

Morphine doesn’t kill people. Pain does.
But in hospice, fear often wins.

Families whisper:
“Won’t it speed things up?”
“Can’t we wait until the very end?”
“I don’t want them to sleep through the goodbye.”

We get it. You’re scared. You love them.
But withholding morphine doesn’t preserve life.
It prolongs suffering.

Here’s the truth:

• The standard starting dose of liquid morphine (Roxanol) is 5mg—roughly equivalent in effect to one tablet of Norco 5/325 (hydrocodone + acetaminophen).
• Sublingual morphine begins working in 15–30 minutes, peaks at ~1 hour, and lasts 2–4 hours.
• When appropriately dosed and titrated, morphine rarely causes respiratory depression—even in frail, terminal patients. In one study of 27,000, the risk was
