You’re probably feeling a variety of emotions when a loved one is diagnosed with a terminal illness. You might not know what to do to help them or even yourself. Figuring out the next steps can be very confusing, and that’s when hospice comes in for the necessary care. Basically, the focus shifts from symptom management. An interdisciplinary team aims to improve quality of life and provide much needed physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual support. Hospice can offer a wide variety of services such as caregivers, bereavement, medical equipment, prescription medications, and much more. Most individuals do not realize hospice can be utilized before the last couple of weeks of life. That’s exactly why so many miss out on the comfort priority when terminally ill. In addition, to family members not feeling so alone after their passing, since bereavement support is offered for a longer period of time.
