I’ve heard it time and time again. “I just want to do what I want to do, I’ve earned it.”

Sometimes, what matters most isn’t adding more days to life—it’s adding more life to the days.

Hospice care is not about giving up. It’s about choosing how to spend your time in a way that feels right to you. Many people reach a point where endless doctor visits, hospital stays, and medical procedures stop feeling helpful. They start feeling like your time is being traded for treatments that may not change the outcome.

Hospice offers a different path. It shifts the focus from aggressive treatments to comfort, support, and peace of mind. Instead of sitting in waiting rooms, patients can sit on their porch and watch the sunrise. Instead of chasing appointments, they can chase the joy of a favorite meal, a family gathering, a quiet conversation with someone they love, or a little time in the garden.

Choosing hospice means choosing to live life on your terms. It’s about honoring your wishes, your pace, and your values. The hospice team takes care of the medical aspects—managing symptoms, easing pain, and guiding families—so you can focus on what really matters.

You deserve care that respects your choices and supports your way of living. Because every day, no matter how many remain, should be yours to live fully.

Joining hospice doesn’t mean giving up. It means choosing care for your loved one. Not just the disease, but the person. Not just the illness but the mental, spiritual, dietary, social needs, and more. Hospice looks at the whole person.

When someone enters hospice care, it’s not about stopping care—it’s about changing the focus of care. It’s about caring for the person, not just the disease. It’s a choice to make every moment meaningful, peaceful, and filled with compassion.

Hospice is about living fully. To find out more about hospice visit ProjectHospice.com

None of us are going to live forever so putting a plan in place to address the needs during these last chapters is important. Deciding on hospice care is a deeply personal choice, and it’s okay if you or your loved one aren’t ready yet. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Explore Palliative Care: Focus on comfort and quality of life while still pursuing treatment. Palliative care can manage symptoms and provide emotional support without requiring you to stop other medical care.
2. Connect with Support Services: Reach out to counselors, social workers, or support groups. They can offer guidance, resources, and a listening ear for you and your family.
3. Discuss Advance Care Planning: Talk with your healthcare team about your goals and preferences. Creating an advance directive ensures your wishes are honored, giving you peace of mind.
4. Lean on Home Health Care: If staying at home is your priority, home health aides can assist with daily tasks, medication management, and light medical care, tailored to your needs.
5. Take It One Day at a Time: There’s no rush to decide. Gather information, ask questions, and lean on trusted loved ones or professionals to explore what is the right choice for you.

So, you’re going to travel to see Mom and Dad. We’ve seen it time and time again. You haven’t seen your parents in a few months so you pack up, jump in the car, and travel to see them. When you get there, you’re surprised. Their health, mobility, mental acuity, and physical body have changed greatly. Here are 10 key steps to guide your conversations around Hospice care.

1. Ask for Honesty About the Medical Situation
Gather a clear view of your loved one’s current condition, including their physical and emotional health, pain levels, and how treatments are affecting them. Family members who are less involved in day-to-day care may not be aware of recent changes or increasing needs.

2. Start the Conversation Early
Ideally, discuss hospice care before it becomes urgent. Early conversations allow your loved one and family time to consider all the options available and make informed decisions. Decisions made under times of great stress are often done without the right knowledge or worse yet, no decision due to decision paralysis.

3. Focus on Your Loved One’s Wishes
Center the discussion on what your loved one wants for their care and quality of life. Use advance directives or previous conversations about their values and preferences to guide the discussion.

4. Explain What Hospice Is—and Isn’t
Address common misconceptions. Hospice is not just for the final days; it can provide months of support focused on comfort, dignity, and quality of life. Explain that hospice care includes medical, emotional, and practical support for both the patient and the family.

5. Highlight the Benefits of Hospice
Emphasize that hospice care can help manage symptoms, reduce pain, provide emotional and spiritual support, and allow more meaningful time together. How often are you helping to manage doctors’ appointments rather than spending time together in the comfort of their home.

6. Use Empathetic and Direct Language
Be honest and direct, but also compassionate. Acknowledge that this is a difficult topic and that it’s normal to have fears or concerns.

7. Involve Key Family Members
If possible, gather all primary caregivers and decision-makers for the conversation. This helps ensure everyone is informed and can contribute their perspectives and support.

8. Leave Space for Questions and Ongoing Dialogue
Encourage family members to ask questions and express their thoughts. Remind them that this is likely the first of several conversations, and it’s okay to revisit the topic as circumstances change.

9. Seek Support from Medical Professionals
Involve your loved one’s healthcare team. Ask them to explain the prognosis and hospice options, and to clarify any medical details or insurance benefits, such as the Medicare Hospice Benefit.

10. Respect the Hierarchy
Recognize that your loved one’s personal beliefs may influence decisions about hospice care. Be sensitive to these factors and allow space for them in the conversation.

Maybe it’s time to finish writing that book of your life. Many people live their lives writing a beautiful book with the chapters of their life. Being able to finish those last few chapters in comfort, and care, with hospice can help you write the last few chapters with peace. Living a good life in your last few months is deeply personal, but there are universal principles and practical steps that can help you find meaning, comfort, and connection during this time:

1. Focus on What Matters Most
Spend time with loved ones and nurture important relationships. Open, honest conversations—especially about your wishes and feelings—can bring peace and closeness.
Reflect on what brings you joy, whether it’s music, nature, art, spiritual practices, or any other joy - make space for those experiences daily.

2. Prioritize Comfort and Quality of Life
Work closely with your healthcare team to manage symptoms and ensure your comfort. Don’t hesitate to ask questions about pain relief, emotional support, and available services.
Consider hospice care if appropriate; hospice focuses on comfort, dignity, and personal wishes, not just medical needs.

3. Create Meaning and Leave a Legacy
Share your stories, wisdom, and memories with family and friends. Writing letters, recording messages, or creating memory books can be meaningful for both you and your loved ones.
If you have unfinished business—apologies, gratitude, or forgiveness—consider taking steps to address these.

4. Embrace Small Pleasures and Daily Routines
Enjoy favorite foods, listen to music, spend time outdoors, or engage in gentle activities that bring comfort and a sense of normalcy.
Mindfulness practices, such as meditation or simply savoring the present moment, can help ease anxiety and foster peace.

5. Seek Emotional and Spiritual Support
Reach out to counselors, chaplains, or support groups if you need someone to talk to about your feelings, fears, or hopes.
Many people find comfort in spiritual or religious practices, but support can also come from nature, art, or community.

6. Make Practical Preparations
If you’re able, organize important documents and communicate your wishes regarding care, finances, and legacy. This can bring peace of mind to both you and your family.

Discuss your preferences for care and end-of-life decisions with your healthcare provider and loved ones to ensure your wishes are respected.
Living a good life in your final months is about honoring your values, finding moments of joy, and connecting meaningfully with others. There is no single right way—what matters is what fulfills you.

Navigating the decisions to join hospice is sometimes an easy one, often a difficult one, but can also lead to decision paralysis for some. A decision to not make a decision is just as concrete as saying yes or no.

What’s really happening in our minds during what can be a very stressful time?

1. Fear of a mistake: Whether hospice is for you, a loved one, or a friend - you want to make a good decision. Please know that over 90% of patients who receive hospice care report improvements in quality of life and would recommend hospice to another. (NHPCO)

2. Fear of not making the right choice: Just as we started, yes or no is an option but often those with a life limiting illness will fall into a third category where no decision creates a stage where those in need don’t get the help they deserve. Project Hospice® was created to help provide the education and knowledge needed to make the right choice at the right time.

What is a good way to break from the indecision?

1. Find the origin of where the indecision is coming from: We’ve found that often the view of hospice is based on the thoughts of what hospice was a generation ago. It’s time to rethink what the hospice of today can do for you or a loved one.

2. Have empathy and shift your perspective: Have an open and honest conversation. What is it that you truly want at this phase of life. Hospice is a decision that can be revised and revisited. Patients’ health, feelings, and decisions can change as can the decision to join hospice.

A rather brilliant gentleman once told me “None of us get out of this thing called life alive. Make the most of it.” Joining hospice means that you’ve made the bold decision to take control of your healthcare journey - It doesn’t mean you’ve given up.

1. It means that you’ve prioritized comfort so that you can spend the time you have on what is most important to you.
2. It means you’ve chosen a compassionate and personalized support system made up of doctors, nurses, volunteers, and trained staff to help honor your wishes.
3. It means you’ve made the choice to live your life in your own home, rather than in a cycle of hospital visits, rehab, and long-term care.
4. It means you made the decision to be with the people you love and live the life you wish.

Hospice is a bold decision to lead the last chapters of life on your terms.
