Sharing the Aurora for mindful contemplation.

Last night was one of those awe inspiring uplifting times in which you feel like a small player in a much grander show. I stepped outside with my family to just marvel at the night sky for an hour and went to bed feeling somehow ‘better’.
For everyone who is going through a difficult time right now, or for whom the Christmas period has been hard, here’s a selection of last nights images. We are part of a greater universe and hopefully that thought may be a comfort.

A shout out to everyone doing Point to Pinnacle this year and especially to Myf and the team from Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer. Please support them.
One of our Palhelp community volunteers became a companion to Nick in his last months of life. It was a real privilege to be allowed in to support the family and our sympathies are with you .

🌼 It's Recreation Day in north Tasmania, but here across the south, our volunteers are still hard at work! They are out in the community spending time with people and giving family carers a few hours of well deserved time out! Keeping our Volunteers on the road, is our thing. Help us to keep them out and about with a small donation to Palhelp. Thank you for helping us to help people who are ill and not likely to recover. We're dedicated to the well-being of individuals with life-limiting conditions. Together, we can make a meaningful impact. 💖

🤝 While walking at Mt Field at the weekend, amongst the tall trees, I felt so grateful just to be there, breathing the clean air and feeling humbled by the age of those immense forest trees, which were young hundreds of years before Europeans sailed to Australia. How precious life is and how lucky we are for each day. I feel this too, when I hear the stories of people's lives who are looking back on a lifetime of family, friends, achievements and bereavements. I feel humbled too by the kindness of our Palhelp volunteers, giving the gift of their precious time. Discover the unique volunteer-led support services at Palhelp! We provide free companionship, advance care planning, and life story recording for those in Hobart and surrounding areas facing life-limiting conditions. Let's make a difference together ❤️.

🌟 On this STEM Day, we recognize the incredible work that the Specialist Palliative Care team does to keep people comfortable and pain free at end-of-life. Having a palliative illness like cancer, does not mean that you have to endure pain. There are so many ways that your nursing team can help you to enjoy life, pain-free. Our dedicated volunteers talk to people every day at the Royal Hobart Hospital and on the J W Whittle Unit, where people are cared for by exceptional doctors and nurses, using all of their deep knowledge, compassion and skill to care for their patients. Please show your appreciation of our Palhelp volunteers who work alongside the nursing team, by donating at https://www.givenow.com.au/hospicevolunteersorgau/
Please support programs in Hobart and Southern Tasmania are committed to helping individuals and families facing life-limiting conditions. We warmly invite anyone who shares our values to help our team make a difference. Visit us for more info: https://wix.to/dgb3khv

🎃 This Halloween, let's not be scared to face the future - whatever it holds. The truth is that most of us are much more scared of dying than any scary halloween movie! We are scared to face the reality of death - everyone dies! But we can take the scare factor out of this is we can only hold space with the people we love and open us a meaningful heartfelt conversation. Tell them what's important to you or ask them what do you want to happen if........Reach out to pahelp if you would like some support to help you make your plans. At palhelp we can be there to listen, we can explain the important things you have to take care of and how to do it. We can help you prepare to have those important conversations. Visit our website! 👉 https://wix.to/f4GapoQ and Happy Halloween!

🌼 Do you have a tale to tell? At Palhelp, we've been helping people to record their life stories and what a great time it has been! Our volunteer biographers have heard some amazing, funny, stories, reminisced, shared experiences and listened in amazement at the great stories everyone has. We've been able to turn those recorded life stories into manuscripts for families to treasure and pass on to their children and grandchildren. We can help you get your story written down and we promise you'll enjoy every minute, chatting to our wonderful volunteers who will help you capture and craft your story. Let's make a difference together! If you know someone who could benefit or if you're a kind-hearted individual looking to volunteer, visit our website and join our mission today! 💖
