Three Things I Wish Every Family Knew About Hospice

One of the greatest privileges of my work is partnering with hospice teams. I am always in awe of what they do. They care for people and families during some of life's hardest moments with an incredible combination of skill, compassion, and grace.

Because of that, I hate seeing families surprised or frustrated by something they weren't expecting.

Just this week, I met with a family who expected that once hospice began, someone would be in the home with their loved one around the clock. They were overwhelmed when they realized that wasn't how home hospice typically works.

Here are three things I wish every family knew:

1. Hospice is not 24/7 in-home caregiving.

Hospice provides expert nurses, social workers, chaplains, physicians, and other professionals who guide care, manage symptoms, and support both the patient and the family. They are an incredible resource, but they aren't usually in the home all day.

2. Families often become the primary caregivers.

Between hospice visits, it is usually family members who help with meals, bathing, toileting, repositioning, medications, and simply being present. For many families, this is an act of love...but it can also be physically and emotionally exhausting.

3. You don't have to do it alone.

One of the best partnerships I see is when hospice and private-duty caregivers work together. Hospice focuses on the medical expertise, symptom management, and emotional support that only they can provide. We help with the day-to-day personal care, household tasks, and companionship that allow family members to step out of the role of full-time caregiver and simply spend meaningful time with the person they love.

If you're facing decisions about hospice for someone in your family, my advice is simple: ask lots of questions. Understand what hospice provides, what it doesn't, and what additional support might help your family through the journey.

(Photo: a game of bridge with my grandmother, father and then fiancé Jennifer in 1998.)

When I was little, my grandmother used to tell a story about me as a toddler. Whenever someone offered to help, I'd proudly declare, "I don't need any else!" In other words, I can do it myself.

I think we all start life that way.

Growing up is about becoming independent, learning to solve our own problems and proving we can stand on our own two feet.

But life has a funny way of coming full circle.

As we get older, some of the everyday things that define our independence, driving, cooking, getting around the house, can become more difficult. And for many people, accepting help feels like admitting defeat.

My grandmother, a fiercely independent woman, wrestled with that too.

What she eventually discovered was that accepting a little help wasn't giving up her independence, it was how she held onto it.

Sometimes that help came from me, as a teenager, driving her to bridge club on a Tuesday morning. (Does anyone even play bridge anymore?) Sometimes it came from Meals on Wheels delivering dinner. Those small layers of support allowed her to stay in the home she loved and remain independent for several more years.

That's a lesson I've carried with me ever since.

The advice I try to give every family is this: don't think of asking for help as giving up your independence. Think of it as protecting it.

Help doesn't have to mean moving out of your home. It might come from a son or daughter, a neighbor, your church community, a volunteer, or a professional caregiver. The important thing is remembering that you don't have to do it alone.

Sometimes the strongest thing we can do is simply let someone help.
