Hospice and end-of-life care: Have you ever had to think about it or discuss with loved ones?

Hello everyone, I hope you're feeling okay today.

This is a tender and personal topic, and we know it may not apply to everyone in our community. But for those who’ve faced it, or are thinking about it for the future, it’s okay to talk about it here.

Hospice care isn’t about giving up. It’s about choosing comfort, dignity, and quality of life when curative treatments are no longer helping. It can bring relief, support, and a sense of peace, but it can also bring up fear, grief, and uncertainty, whether for ourselves or someone we love.

💬 If you feel comfortable sharing:

• Have you ever had to think about hospice care, for yourself or for someone close to you?
• What feelings came up for you? Was it a difficult conversation?
• Have you found ways to talk openly about end-of-life care with your loved ones?
