Hearing the unfortunate news of our loved one’s limited time is devastating. It is normal to feel sad, anxious, angry, and confused. There are many emotions. We have questions on what is going to happen and what about their end of life care. As a provider of palliative care in Texas, we attempt to help you with the answers.
Getting into hospice early on can be advantageous not just for the patient but for the family. Patients diagnosed with a terminal illness also face pain and discomfort that gradually becomes severe or unbearable. Having early admittance gives time for the healthcare team to develop a personalized care plan for the patient.
The family can be involved as early as possible. They can contribute as well as prepare for the changes that might be required. New requirements may involve medical equipment and supplies that must be purchased before the hospice program starts. The sooner we are prepared for what is going to happen, the better we can push through.
There may be no solution to grief. But at this stage, we do the best that we can to make their moments count. Sovereign Hospice continues to provide our excellent hospice services in Aubrey, Texas.
