When families open their hearts to share words like these, we’re reminded why we do what we do.

Bill Osbourne’s family faced the heartbreak of saying goodbye to his beloved mother-in-law — a woman who made the brave decision to stop medical interventions and spend her final days in peace. From the moment they called, our Las Cruces team — led by the incredible GiGi and her compassionate care team — stepped in to make sure every detail was handled with love.

✨ They treated not just the patient, but the entire family, like their own.
✨ They offered comfort and reassurance when Bill’s wife struggled with guilt and grief.
✨ They stayed close — from the first day of care to the night her journey ended — ensuring no one ever felt alone.

At High Desert Hospice, care doesn’t stop at the bedside. It extends to every heart in the room. It’s the gentle touch, the reassuring words, and the presence that says, “You’re not alone in this.”

Thank you, Bill, for trusting us during such a sacred time and for sharing your experience. Your words mean the world to our Las Cruces team. 🕊️

🕊️ “It is not length of life, but depth of life.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

As we step into November, the world around us begins to quiet — the air grows cooler, the light softens, and life gently reminds us to slow down and reflect.

At High Desert Hospice, we’re blessed to witness what true depth of life looks like every day: it’s the way a husband still brushes his wife’s hair after 50 years together… it’s the sound of laughter shared between a nurse and patient… it’s the peace that fills a room when a family gathers to say “I love you” one more time.

Life’s beauty has little to do with how long it lasts, and everything to do with how deeply it’s lived — with compassion, with presence, and with love. 🧡

🌿 We invite you to take a quiet moment today:
✨ Think of one person whose love has shaped your life.
✨ Whisper a thank you.
✨ And if your heart moves you, share this post as a tribute to them.

Together, let’s fill this space with gratitude for the people who remind us what life is all about — connection, kindness, and depth of love.

🌻 Hello, November!
As the season of gratitude begins, we’re reminded that caring for others starts with caring for ourselves. Whether you’re a caregiver, family member, or patient, remember: you can’t pour from an empty cup.

🧡 Simple Self-Care Steps for Caregivers:

1️⃣ Take three slow, deep breaths before each new task.

2️⃣ Keep a water bottle nearby — hydration supports calm and focus.

3️⃣ Step outside for five minutes of sunshine or fresh air.

4️⃣ Accept help when it’s offered — it’s okay to rest.

You’re doing incredible, meaningful work every single day. 🫶🏼

🌬️ Disease Spotlight: COPD & Lung Disease

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and other advanced lung conditions can make everyday activities—like walking, talking, or even breathing—feel exhausting. At High Desert Hospice, our goal is to help patients breathe easier, rest better, and live with greater comfort. 💛

Here’s how our hospice team supports patients and families managing COPD or lung disease:

💨 Symptom Management:
We help control shortness of breath, coughing, and anxiety with expert medication management, oxygen therapy, and gentle breathing techniques.

🧘 Comfort Measures:
Positioning strategies, relaxation exercises, and pacing activities help conserve energy and ease discomfort.

💛 Emotional & Spiritual Support:
Breathlessness can bring fear or anxiety — our team provides reassurance, calm presence, and spiritual care when it’s needed most.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family Education:
We teach loved ones how to help manage symptoms safely and recognize when additional support is needed.

🌿 24/7 Availability:
Our nurses and care team are always just a call away, ensuring peace of mind day and night.

Hospice care for COPD and lung disease focuses on comfort, dignity, and helping each breath feel a little easier. 💛🧡🤎

🌟 Celebrating Our Founders & 10 Years of Heartfelt Care 🌟

From a tiny one-room office with three determined women and two Great Dane “mascots,” a dream was born — High Desert Hospice. 💛

Ten years ago, Katie, Sarah, and Kim came together with one mission: to create a hospice rooted in compassion, family, and integrity. Back then, they served just four patients, sharing one space, wearing countless hats, and learning everything from the ground up. 🌿

💛 Their story began with:
🐾 Hudson & Tucker, the original Great Dane office mascots
🩺 Countless “firsts” — first audit, first transfer, first admission, first hires
🤝 Late nights, shared laughter, and unshakable camaraderie
🏗️ The creation of systems, processes, and a foundation built on heart

What started with three founders’ vision has grown into a thriving family of over 100 team members serving more than 350 patients across New Mexico. 🌄

Their courage, dedication, and love for people built more than a hospice — they built a community of care.

Today, we celebrate Sarah - Administrator/Owner, Katie - Executive Director and Kim - Director of Nursing — the heart, vision, and leadership behind High Desert Hospice. Thank you for reminding us that with compassion, teamwork, and faith, beautiful things can grow. 💛🧡🤎

🌅 Reflection Sunday 🌅

Even in life’s hardest moments, gratitude can quietly light the way. 🙏

It may not erase the pain or fill the empty spaces we feel, but it helps us see the small, sacred moments that still exist—
☀️ The warmth of a morning sunbeam
💬 A kind word from a friend
🌸 The sound of laughter, even through tears

Gratitude reminds us that beauty and love continue to live alongside grief, loss, and uncertainty. It invites peace into the heart, one moment at a time.

Take a deep breath today and look for one thing—just one—that brings you comfort or makes you smile. Even the smallest gratitude can shift the heaviness into hope. 💛

💛 Caregiver Saturday 💛
Because those who give care also need care. 🌿

Caring for a loved one can be both deeply meaningful and emotionally demanding. At High Desert Hospice, we know that caregivers are the heart of every home—and that your well-being matters, too. 💛

Here are a few gentle reminders to help you recharge and receive the care you deserve:

🕊️ Rest without guilt: Taking time for yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Even 10 minutes of quiet can reset your spirit.
🤝 Ask for help: Friends and family want to support you. Let them run an errand, cook a meal, or sit with your loved one while you rest.
💬 Stay connected: Join a support group or talk to others who understand. (Our grief and caregiver groups are open to you, too.)
🌿 Accept support: Hospice care is designed to help both patients and families—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. You don’t have to do it all alone.

Remember, caring for yourself allows you to care for others with even more compassion and strength. 💛🧡🤎
