Pictou County Palliative Care Society

We are a group of volunteers who care about the quality of life for those who are nearing the end of theirs. We focus on your needs at home.

My experience has been that people are so scared & worried about the mystery of the dying process that it overshadows the living part. Part of the sol’n is getting real info to people about dying to free them up to live. Honest, open, truthful illness info will offer that space.

‘It really helps saying it out loud’…Anne & Tony, both bereaved chat in the cemetery. Talking to those we love who have died is completely normal & it gives many of us comfort. Grief is a lonely place, but finding others who get it, can be a lifeline. #AfterLife3 @rickygervais

The role of caregiver is one of the most stressful titles that exists. Oftentimes, the stress becomes overwhelming, taking a toll on your health. Here are a few tips for coping with stress:
Prioritize sleep.
Go for a walk.
Breathe deeply.
Drink water.
Stretch.
Keep a journal.

Truth

[Seasons Hospice @seasonsmo]

Caregiving is not likely a role you ever imagined yourself filling. It can often feel lonely, leaving caregivers exhausted as they deal with heavy emotions.

Don’t forget to reach out for help!

Falls from the wings of Night,
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in his flight."

When you look at your challenges as opportunities for growth it is much easier to see a bit of purpose behind the pain. What is your latest challenge teaching you?
