“As a hospice and palliative physician, I strive to ensure the most dignified and comfortable passing for my patients but beyond that an experience that leaves the loved ones feeling at peace.”
– Dr. Sarah Phillips, HMDC, Medical Director, Hospice of the Panhandle
“There is no right or wrong way to grieve. I often hear ‘I’m doing this wrong or I’m not sad enough’ from clients. Who we are as individuals and what our relationship with the deceased was influence our grief response.”
– Beth Loy, Grief Counselor, Hospice of the Panhandle
“I can’t say enough about the care (my husband) received. The (Hospice team members) were kind, compassionate, upbeat and always ready to listen. They were so responsive and were always just a phone call away.”
– Sheryl, Family Caregiver
“While (Mom) left a lot sooner than I was expecting, it couldn’t have been a more peaceful transition for her that day. Just how she wanted it – at home, surrounded by her family and not in pain. She was very scared of being in pain, and because of everyone with Hospice listening to her, she was not.”
– Jennifer K, patient’s daughter
