But somewhere along the way, she stepped into a role she came to deeply love — director of Bridges Palliative Care.In many frum circles, the word hospice carries weight. It feels final. Frightening. Almost like surrender.But Chaya gently challenges that perception.Hospice, she explains, is not about giving up. It’s about comfort. About dignity. About bringing medical expertise into a moment when suffering can be eased. And often, when a patient becomes more comfortable, something shifts. Strength returns. Sometimes even enough to resume curative treatment.Her work isn’t only medical.It’s legacy work.She guides families through difficult conversations — not only about pain and comfort, but about the practical realities we tend to avoid: DNRs, advance directives, medical power of attorney, wills. Conversations that feel overwhelming. Or even frightening.Not morbid — but real.So that when the time comes, there are fewer unspoken words. Fewer rushed decisions. And fewer regrets left sitting in the room. YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsK24OSmIYG_XWzeplhfmb8LJcWKphITh&si=untn3fmHLLaEEFNmApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/relief-from-grief-by-mayrim/id1788349916Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3AvWNp0DrHqE5AVYJHooiK?si=ufpIObuGRumS5uFXmvrpgA Questions or feedback?
