November is National Hospice & Palliative Care Month. This month we are reaching out to raise awareness about the highest quality care for people coping with life-limiting illnesses. What’s the difference between Hospice and Palliative? Hospice is care without curative intent, a hospice patient no longer has curative options. Palliative care is care with or without curative intent. Every year, according to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, nearly 1.6 mil...lion people living with a life-limiting illness receive care from hospice and palliative care providers in the United States.

This is a reminder to MASK UP! If you’re caring for a high-risk individual, you should consider having anyone in close contact with them wear a mask. Wearing a mask around the chronically ill & elderly would likely reduce their risk of getting the virus from someone who is infected, but shows no symptoms.... Outside of personal care tasks, you may also want to keep a reasonable distance from them or reduce the amount of time you spend in close contact to help reduce exposure risk.

Dealing with grief & loss of loved one: While there’s no automatic fix to heal from the loss of a loved one here are the following tips: * Choose good company. Find comfort in friends, old and new, who know how grief feels and who can let you be alone but not alone when you need company. * Eat healthy and often. Forgetting to eat is common when dealing with loss and running low on energy can affect your judgement. ... * Get plenty of rest. Physical and emotional exhaustion is common. You will need to extra time to rest during this time. * It’s okay to cry. Embrace all emotions. It is neither weak nor abnormal to feel emotional waves. * Set a regular sleep schedule. Make it a goal to go to bed and awaken at the same time each day. Give yourself a good amount of time to rest, but be on guard for sleeping too much as a way to avoid the hard work of grieving. * Move your body. Get up and walk or move around, preferably outside, at least a little each day. * Set goals. Set small, reachable, short-term goals so that you don’t get overwhelmed. * Make a list of daily activities. This can help while you are grieving because forgetfulness is common. * Be cautious. Do not make any major decisions or changes in home or work right after you are bereaved. * Take care of your inner needs. Find time, whether through a spiritual practice or a creative outlet, to connect to things that give you inspiration and help you maintain your sense of meaning and purpose. You could keep a journal, write a song, poem or letter to your loved one. . #hospice #palliative #palliativecare #hospicecare #hospicestrong #palliativestrong #health #grief #healing #sanbernardino #riverside #losangeles #poetry
