Hospice Uncovered

09/15/2026

In this episode of Hospice Uncovered, hosts Shanna and Rachel welcome Douglas Jackson, the new Director of Spiritual Services, to discuss the intersection of faith and grief in hospice care. Douglas unpacks how grief extends far beyond death—it accompanies loss of health, identity, and dreams—and emphasizes that the only way through grief is to go through it.

He shares deeply personal stories, including losing his fishing buddy father and the woman who cared for him as an infant, revealing how intentional living and purposeful preparation can transform how we face mortality. The conversation explores why people avoid grief discussions, how love and loss are inseparable, and what happens spiritually when we prepare for our final days. Douglas challenges listeners to develop a real, honest relationship with God—one where doubts and questions are not only valid but welcome. Whether you're facing end-of-life care, supporting a loved one in hospice, or simply wrestling with faith and mortality, this episode offers profound spiritual perspective and practical wisdom.

THE ONLY WAY OUT OF GRIEF… IS THROUGH. ❤️‍🩹

You can’t rush it.
You can’t skip it.
And you don’t have to pretend it doesn’t hurt.

Even Jesus experienced profound grief.

And sometimes, when someone is grieving, we simply don’t know what to say.We reach for familiar words like, “Everything happens for a reason”* or *“I’m sorry for your loss.”

But what if our faith gives us another way to look at loss?

For those who believe, death doesn’t get the final word.

The separation hurts. The grief is real. **But so is the hope of seeing them again.

We’re socially connected… but spiritually disconnected. 💔📱

We have more ways to connect than ever—and somehow, it’s become easier to live surface-level lives.

Real love requires courage.
Opening your heart again requires courage.
Forgiving requires courage

Loving people after you’ve been hurt requires courage.

So here’s the challenge:

❤️ When was the last time you took a risk on somebody?

Put the phone down. Go below the surface. Give. Forgive. Show up. LOVE HARDER.

Because in a disconnected world, real love may be one of the greatest risks worth taking.

🎥 Watch the reel. Then ask yourself: Where is God asking me to love a little harder?

WHY BE AFRAID TO GO OUT ON A LIMB? THAT’S WHERE THE FRUIT IS.

The fruit isn’t on the trunk.
It’s out on the limb.

Yes, the limb might break.
Yes, taking the risk might scare you.
But what if the thing you’ve been praying for requires you to GET OUT THERE?

And when God gives you that little “ping”—that thought, that feeling, that nudge in your spirit—trust it and GO.

Stop overthinking every move.
Stop waiting until you’re completely comfortable.

Trust God. Take the risk. Go after the fruit.

🎥 Watch this reel from Hospice Uncovered and tell us: What “ping” have you been ignoring?

Healing doesn’t mean the scar disappears. ❤️‍🩹

It means you can look at it and say:

"I remember where that came from. I remember what I went through. I remember how much it hurt… but it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

The scar is still there—but now it’s proof:

survived it. I made it through. And God healed me.

Some scars don’t tell the story of what broke you.
They tell the story of what couldn’t keep you down.

The pole was gone. 🎣😂 The memory? FOREVER. ❤️

Life is short. And sometimes the things we remember most aren’t the big moments—they’re the fishing trips, the inside jokes, and even a can of sardines and crackers. 😂

That’s the beautiful thing about love: the person may be gone, but the memories still make you laugh, smile, and feel connected.

🎥 Watch this reel from Hospice Uncovered—and tell us in the comments:

What’s one simple memory of someone you love that you’ll never forget? ❤️

Grief is not a lack of faith. ❤️

Grief hurts because love was there.

In this powerful conversation, Pastor Douglas shares something God placed on his heart early in ministry when he asked, *“Why does death hurt so badly?”*

The answer changed his perspective on grief.

🎥 Watch this reel as we unpack faith, love, death, and why grieving does not mean you trust God any less.

Someone you know may need to hear this today. ❤️🙏🏽

Never Forget. September 11, 2001. 🇺🇸

Today, we remember the lives that were tragically taken on September 11, 2001, and the families who were forever changed that day.

We remember the innocent lives lost, the brave first responders who ran toward danger while others ran away, and the countless heroes who showed extraordinary courage and selflessness.

May we never forget the sacrifice, the bravery, and the unity that followed one of the darkest days in our nation’s history.

🙏 Praying for the families who continue to carry the loss and remembering every life that was taken far too soon.

September 11, 2001 — We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸❤️

Sometimes you don’t even have to finish the prayer… because deep down, you already know the answer. 🙏🏽

God is still in control.

In this episode, we talk about faith in uncertain moments, meeting people right where they are, and why sometimes a little laughter is exactly what we need. ❤️

And yes… there may be a really bad chicken joke at the end. 😂🐔

🎥 Watch the reel and share it with someone who needs this reminder today.
