Tips for Supporting a Loved One in Hospice Care

It can be overwhelming to have a loved one in hospice care, but there are some things you can do to help make it a better experience for all involved.

🤝 Be present: This is sometimes easier said than done, but simply being there for your loved one can be extremely comforting, whether it’s holding their hand, having a conversation, or just sitting quietly together.

🤝 Listen and validate: Encourage your loved one to share their feelings and worries, and let them know that it’s okay to feel the way they do.

🤝 Respect their choices: It’s important to respect your family member’s wishes, whether it’s regarding medical treatment, end-of-life decisions, or personal preferences.

There is a lot to navigate, but we are here to help. Please reach out to Hospice Promise if you need any support.
