How to Find Life Lessons in Caring for the Dying

Hospice nurse and end of life doula Trish Rux believes that considering our death helps us to live life more fully.  After being at the bedside of hundreds of dying patients, she’s learned lessons that have shaped how she lives.  Trish believes most caregivers are reluctant to ask for help, especially the small things that can make a big difference. She recommends building a caregiving group who can be part of the support group from the beginning, before things get intense.  Having advance care planning discussions that focus on the specifics of end of life wishes is one of the doula roles that Trish especially loves. Taking time to have those deep conversations, focusing on the personhood, dignity, and spiritual desires of the dying person makes the death easier.  It can ease the grief for family caregivers as a result.   Connect with hospice nurse and EOL doula Trish Rux: The Death Doula Collective at deathdoulas.com  Purchase your copy of Dying Matters: 8 Conversations That Can Change Your Life here Connect with HaloCare: Website: halocaregroup.com HaloCare services for healthcare professionals: halocaregroup.com/healthcare-professionals Get more info about HaloCare for yourself or a loved one here Socials:  Facebook Instagram Twitter   LinkedIn Connect with HaloCare by phone at (888) 247-7102  Hospice Navigation Services understands that you need unbiased, expert support to have the best end of life experience possible.  And we believe you deserve to get good hospice care.  If you have questions about hospice care for yourself or someone you care about, Hospice Navigation Services can help.  It’s easy to connect by phone or video.
