If you are caring for a loved one who is dying, it is helpful to think about what THEY might want, need, or value in their final days. Cultivating a space of love presence and support as they are dying can bring an enormous amount of peace to everyone. https://t.co/ZSujcMc52U

The home health aide is one of the best resources on the hospice team. If you are taking care of someone you love, and need a little more help, read this. https://t.co/Is90PN1Y0Z

It is an excruciating honor to be with your loved one as they are actively dying. I know that your heart is breaking as theirs is slowing.

Continue to ask for help. Continue to treat the patient with deep reverence. This is a sacred time.
