NHS: The Language of Loss: Understanding Grief Before, During and After the Hospice Journey

Join us in welcoming Amy Hachquet, Associate Director of Community Outreach, and Jeff Long, Bereavement Coordinator of Optum Palliative Care, Southwest Medical Hospice, for a high-level overview of Hospice Care, a topic many who care for elders will want to better understand. Discover what Hospice Care is and how it supports patients and families. Learn how families navigate the complex emotions that come with the end of life, distinguish between grief and mourning, and recognize how each may appear throughout family systems in serious illness. Understand how Hospice supports emotional and spiritual suffering while providing care, and learn practical coping and communication strategies to navigate grief in everyday life.
