People often think hospice is about death.
I’ve learned that hospice is really about people.
Lately, life has felt heavy. Between the challenges of running a hospice, surviving, supporting families through unimaginable loss, and carrying the weight that comes with this work, it can sometimes be easy to lose sight of why we started.
Slide 2 video : Then yesterday, this family walked through our doors.
A few months ago, they entrusted us with the care of their wife, mother, and best friend during one of the most difficult seasons of their lives.
What touched me most was that months later, they still remembered Sarah by name and wanted to thank her personally for the compassion, calm presence, and support she provided along the way.
Think about that for a moment.
Not the medications.
Not the paperwork.
Not the equipment.
They remembered the person.
Moments like this remind me that hospice is not a job. It is a calling.
And sometimes, just when life feels overwhelming, God sends people through the door to remind us that the work matters.
The goal is never just to help someone die well.
The goal is to help families live through it.
