She thought hospice meant giving up.
She whispered, “Does this mean I’m dying… now?”
Her daughter was afraid to say the word. Afraid it meant the end. Afraid, hope was gone.
But something beautiful happened.
The pain eased.
The fear softened.
The room filled with quiet moments — stories, laughter, handholding, peace.
Days turned into meaningful time… not counted in numbers, but in memories.
Hospice is not what many believe.

MYTH: Hospice means giving up.
TRUTH: Hospice means choosing comfort, dignity, and quality of life.

MYTH: Hospice is only for the last few days.
TRUTH: Hospice is meant for months of support — the earlier, the better.

MYTH: Hospice takes away all medications and treatments.
TRUTH: Hospice continues medications and treatments that bring comfort, relieve symptoms, and support quality of life. Care does not stop — it shifts to what helps the patient feel best. Patients may also continue to receive medications and treatment for conditions not related to their hospice diagnosis, ensuring whole-person care and comfort.

MYTH: Hospice takes away hope.
TRUTH: Hospice changes hope — from cure to comfort, from fear to peace, from time to meaning.

MYTH: Hospice is about dying.
TRUTH: Hospice is about living — fully, gently, and surrounded by love.

At Life’s Journey Hospice, we witness it every day…
Fear turning into peace.
Pain turning into comfort.
Time turning into treasured moments.
Hospice is not the end of the story.
It is the chapter where love speaks the loudest. If you or a loved one has questions about hospice care, please call us today at (317) 561-6840. We are here to support and help you navigate this journey.

Hospice Care: More Than Medicine—It’s Presence, Peace, and Love

When someone we love is facing the final chapter of life, what matters most often changes. It’s no longer about more tests or more treatments—it’s about comfort, dignity, and being surrounded by love.

Hospice care exists to honor those moments.

Across the country, more families are choosing hospice not because they are giving up, but because they are choosing peace. Hospice teams care for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—while also supporting families through one of life’s most tender transitions.

Every story matters. Every moment matters. And no one should walk this journey alone.

At Life’s Journey of Avon, we are here to provide calm guidance, compassionate care, and gentle support—so families can focus on what truly matters: time, connection, and love.

🤍 If you or someone you love has questions about hospice, we are here to listen.

Hands up! Oh ya!

Last night, our hospice home was filled with cheers, laughter, and the kind of joy that feels timeless. Patients and families gathered together just like they always have — watching IU bring home a national championship, sharing snacks, stories, and proud smiles, with the excitement of a cheerleading competition adding even more energy and fun for friends and family of all ages.

Moments like these remind us of something so important: hospice is not about giving up life — it’s about living it fully. It’s about holding onto the things that make us us… the traditions, the excitement, the togetherness, the simple thrill of celebrating a win side by side.

In the middle of serious illness, there can still be laughter, connection, and meaningful joy. There can still be living — deep, real, beautiful living — in every shared moment, every cheer, every hug.

We are honored to witness these moments and to walk alongside families as they continue to love, laugh, and make memories that will last forever. ❤️

Because every moment matters.

🏈❤️ Game Day at the Hospice House!

We’re ready for the big game here at the hospice house! Our patients and families are enjoying a special tailgate party filled with smiles, togetherness, and plenty of Hoosier spirit.

Tonight, we cheer loud, celebrate the moment, and root for Indiana Hoosiers as they head toward an amazing victory!

Because even in the hardest seasons of life, joy, connection, and a little game-day excitement still matter.
✨ Go Hoosiers! ✨l

A Love Story Without an Ending 💛

As life gently approaches its final chapter, love remains unwavering. In this quiet moment, they choose presence over fear, gratitude over sorrow, and joy over uncertainty. Side by side, they celebrate not the end—but the lifetime of memories, laughter, and blessings that brought them here.

It’s in moments like these that love speaks the loudest—through shared glances, soft smiles, and the simple beauty of being together. A reminder that even as paths change, love continues on, unbroken and eternal.
Because the greatest stories are not defined by endings, but by the love that lives on forever.

At Life’s Journey, we are honored to walk alongside families during this time—supporting them with compassion, presence, and peace, so each story can be embraced with dignity, gratitude, and love until the very last breath on earth.

Because the story of love never truly ends.

(Thanks to our incredible team for grabbing photo of these moments—for such a time as this🙏)
