"I know now that we never get over great losses; we absorb them, and they carve us into different, often kinder, creatures. ...We tell the story to get them back, to capture the traces of footfalls through the snow."

Thoughtful Planning for Handling a Loved One’s Belongings

Take time to plan how you will go through your loved one’s possessions. Gather close family members and discuss which items should stay within the family and what can be donated to those in need. Consider who should be involved in the process—having two or three people can help things move smoothly while minimizing conflicts. Most importantly, don’t feel pressured to rush. Give yourself grace as you navigate this step. 💙

MYTH: Hospice is only available in the last few days of life.
FACT: Hospice is available at any point that a physician certifies that a person has a life-limiting illness and life expectancy is 6 months or less. People live an average of 29 days longer in hospice care than alternative forms of end-of-life care (and often with more comfort, dignity and peace).
