🎉💙 Happy 1st Birthday, Southern Grace Hospice! 💙🎉

One year ago today, Southern Grace Hospice officially lifted off and began caring for our very first patients in our Lafayette and Hammond branch. What started as a vision rooted in compassion, dignity, and faith has grown into a year of meaningful moments, heartfelt connections, and sacred journeys shared with patients and families.

We are incredibly grateful to the families who trusted us during some of life’s most tender times. Thank you for allowing us into your homes and hearts—it is an honor we never take lightly. Your trust fuels our purpose/vision and reminds us why we do what we do every single day. 💚💙

To our amazing team: your dedication, love, and unwavering commitment to excellence have made this first year truly special. Because of you, Southern Grace is more than a hospice—it’s a family with southern roots.

Here’s to one year of serving with Southern Hospitality & Grace- many more to come💚💙✨

✨ Hospice Care: Myths vs. Facts

We are proud to spotlight James Ellis, MD, Medical Director at our Hammond branch, for helping educate our community about hospice care and the many misconceptions surrounding it.

Hospice is not about giving up—it’s about comfort, dignity, and quality of life. It doesn’t mean stopping care; it means shifting the focus to pain management, emotional support, and compassionate guidance for both patients and their families. Hospice can begin earlier than many people think, and it often helps individuals live more fully and comfortably.

Thank you, Dr. Ellis, for your dedication to patient-centered care and for taking the time to clarify the myths surrounding hospice. We truly appreciate your leadership and your commitment to education in our community.

The holidays have a way of reminding us of who’s missing from the table.
The empty chair. The laugh we’re listening for. The traditions that feel different now.

While the world is wrapped in lights and celebration, many of us are quietly carrying grief in our hearts. We miss the ones we’ve lost — deeply, painfully, and endlessly. Love doesn’t disappear just because someone is gone. If anything, it feels louder during this season.

If you’re missing someone this holiday, please know you’re not alone.

Some gentle ways to cope when the ache feels heavy:
✨ Talk about them — say their name, share their stories
✨ Honor them in small ways: light a candle, cook their favorite dish, play their favorite song
✨ Give yourself permission to feel everything — sadness, gratitude, tears, and even moments of joy
✨ Lean on people who understand, or sit quietly when words feel like too much
✨ Remember that it’s okay if this season looks different now

Grief doesn’t mean the holidays are broken — it means love remains. And love, even in loss, is something to hold onto. Set the table with an empty chair in memory of them-look for the Godwinks throughout the year.

Sending love to everyone missing someone they wish they could hug a little tighter this season 🤍

Today’s Education Series featured our Medical Director -Dr Brianna Shaffer leading an important conversation on having the hospice conversation, thinking through plans of care, and understanding the difference between home health and hospice.

These discussions help patients, families, and care teams make informed, compassionate decisions that align with goals and values. We’re grateful for leadership that prioritizes education, clarity, and patient-centered care. 💙

At Southern Grace, we are excited to educate the community with our "Clearing the Air on Hospice Care" series!

🛑 Informed Consent Isn’t a Form — It’s a Conversation
And too often, people skip the most important question in healthcare: “What matters to YOU?”

💬 We’re really good at talking about what we can do in medicine.

More scans.
More treatments.
More medications.
More everything.

But here's the truth:
Just because we can, doesn’t mean we should.

Somewhere in the chaos of care plans, many families are swept into aggressive options…
…before anyone asks a single, vital question:

👉 “What are your goals of care?”

🎯 Before we talk OPTIONS, we need to talk PURPOSE.

It is overwhelming and confusing when no one explains what’s really happening.

Families hear:
“We could try this.”
“There’s a chance.”
“It might help.”
"We could manage..."

But rarely do they hear:
💡 “Is this aligned with what you want the rest of your life to look like?”

🚨 The truth: Consent without understanding… isn’t consent at all.
Informed consent isn’t just about:
✅ Benefits vs Risks.
It’s about:
🔍 Benefits vs Reality.
💭 Benefits vs Your goals, values, and quality of life.

🌱 At Southern Grace, THIS is the heart of our work.
Not just getting a signature.
But building shared understanding, building relationships.

We train every team member — from nurses to marketers — to anchor conversations in:

Personal values
Prognosis
Quality of life
Dignity
Shared plan of care
And most of all… what matters to the person in front of us, and to the extended families that we serve.

🗣 Before you offer a treatment, ask:
👉 “What do you want the rest of your life to look like?”

Not about the tumor.
Not about the chart.
Not about the stats.

But about:
What you hope for
What you fear
What you value
That’s how we make care humane again.

💚To our colleagues in healthcare:
To every hospice professional who leads with compassion — We see you.
To every , , , who asks the hard questions — We admire you.
To every clinician fighting for dignity over default — THANK YOU.

And to every family navigating impossible choices:
You deserve:
✅ Honesty
✅ Clarity
✅ Care that aligns with your goals

“Informed consent isn't a form you sign. It's a path you choose — together.”
