What to do for a grieving friend

Sun, 13 Feb 2011 14:48:33 GMT

Call. Say “I’m so sorry.”
Reach out. Find the time to pay a visit.
Bring dinner or invite your friend for dinner.
Be a good listener. Avoid such comments as “I know just how you feel/” You cannot really know how someone else feels. Allow for silence.
Do mention the deceased person. Share memories.
Allow for tears. They are a natural way of expressing hurt.
Offer to go with your friend on simple routine errands. Be specific in your offers of help. Avoid such comments as “Call if you need anything.”
Avoid setting time limits on grief. You cannot really know the depth of someone else’s wound.
Be there. Sundays and holidays can be intolerably lonely times for the bereaved.
Be loving - a hug or a squeeze of your hand means more than you can ever imagine.

How to be a supportive caregiver

Sun, 13 Feb 2011 14:46:50 GMT

WORK AND COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY WITH THE PATIENT. This is your most important and challenging job. The person you are caring for must deal with the physical effects of the disease as well as the psychological and social challenges of living with a life limiting disease. This may make it difficult for the patient to participate in the home care plan. Nonetheless, your job is to involve as much as possible the person you are caring for in making decisions and carrying out the care plan. You should support the person's efforts to deal with the reality of the prognosis emotionally, and this includes efforts to: Help the person to accept that he or she has a life limiting disease Some people with a life limiting disease deal with upsetting news by pretending that it simply did not happen. This can be healthy when it helps them to live as normal a life as possible. It can be harmful; however, if they do...

How we improve the quality of life

Fri, 11 Feb 2011 15:43:35 GMT

When a loved one is dying, you can find yourself pushed into the role of being the caregiver. Many times you don’t know what is expected of you and you find that you have little or no preparation for the challenges you are confronting.

Hospice of Montgomery has cared for thousands of families since our founding in 1976. We are most experienced in understanding what you as a caregiver are or will be going through. Our teams of experienced professionals provide top notch medical care, emotional support along with the unique ability to anticipate needs - all dedicated to improving the quality of life for the patient, you, and your family.

We have prepared a special Caregivers’ Section for you. There are practical suggestions, tips on care giving and important information for caring for yourself. Remember that only by taking care of yourself, will you be able to continue to care for your loved one.

We invite you to use the materials in the Caregiver’s Section and invite your family and friends to visit it, as well. If you have any questions or would like to share an idea with us, please call us at 334/279-6677 – we would love to talk with you about why we are Montgomery’s most family-referred hospice.

It's a sentiment that recurs in the surveys returned to Hospice of Montgomery each year. At any time during a life-threatening illness, and preferably before the stress of a crisis, it is appropriate to discuss all of a patient's healthcare options, including hospice. Many physicians are hesitant to talk to...
