Ways Your Companionship Can Help Your Loved One During the End of Life

October 29, 2024 by Golden Rule Hospice

Family Caregiver Support in Alpharetta GA

During the end of life, you will spend a lot of time providing your loved one with physical and emotional support. As you watch your loved one nearing their final days, you may wonder how much of a difference you can make. Just by being present, however, you may make a world of difference. Here are some ways that your companionship can help your loved one during the end of life.

Keep your loved one busy. By spending time with your loved one, you can help to alleviate boredom. Especially in cases where a loved one’s mental faculties may no longer be what they were, they may benefit from some direction with activities. You can play games, work on arts and crafts together, do some other activity, or just talk.
Slow the progression of certain conditions. Socializing can support brain health, which may help to slow down the onset or progression of conditions such as dementia.
Provide emotional support. Just knowing that another person cares can make a huge impact on someone emotionally during a hard time. And few times are as challenging as the end of a person’s life. By being there for your loved one, even just to listen or be present, you may be doing more for their sense of well-being than you realize.
Offer new perspectives. Your loved one may be working through a lot of challenging emotions right now, including grief, fear and sadness. By sharing your own thoughts and feelings, you might be giving them some valuable perspectives that end up impacting how they process those emotions and their situation.
Connect your loved one with memories. This is a time during which you and your loved one can reminisce about memories of times you shared together. They can also tell you about memories of times you missed, giving you the opportunity to learn more about their life. In doing so, you help to ensure that their memories live on, even once removed. This is also a chance for them to share more about their beliefs and values, passing on their legacy.
Fill your loved one’s days with meaningful experiences. Time spent with ones we love is meaningful. Your companionship helps to ensure that your loved one’s final months, weeks and days are filled with experiences that bring them a sense of joy and value, making the best of the time they have left.

Coping with Anticipatory Grief

September 27, 2023 by Golden Rule Hospice

As human beings, we have the knowledge that we and our loved ones will all one day pass away. That means that for many of us, the grieving process may begin before death. This is known as “anticipatory grief.”

What is Anticipatory Grief?

Anticipatory grief is when we experience grief about events we are anticipating in our future. These can include the death of a loved one, our own eventual death, or other things we may lose along the way. A person with a terminal illness that is going to result in loss of function or increasing pain may mourn the autonomy and pain-free days they will lose. Anticipatory grief is contrasted with what we call “conventional grief,” which is grief we feel for events that have already happened.

Are You Experiencing Anticipatory Grief?

If you or your loved one is in hospice care or will be soon, it is common to experience anticipatory grief. A person may spend many months in hospice, which gives them and their loved ones quite a bit of time to experience this form of grieving.

Signs and symptoms of anticipatory grief can vary from one individual to another, as can their frequency and intensity. Some may include:

The classic five “stages” of grief: denial, bargaining, anger, depression and acceptance.
Anxiety or worry.
Fear.
Sadness or despair.
Intrusive thoughts.
Deliberate thoughts and focus on dying, death or what may or may not follow.
Guilt.
Feelings of loneliness or isolation.
Physical manifestations like exhaustion, headaches or difficulties falling or staying asleep.
Existential crisis.

How Can You Cope with Anticipatory Grief?

Some people may seek to avoid their grief, burying themselves in distractions. Others may want to tackle it head-on. Either way, there are some things you can do to help you cope at this time.

Education: Anticipatory grief can be a confusing and overwhelming experience—especially if you have never been through it before. But every loss is unique, so even if you have been through a grieving process before, you can still be caught off guard by a subsequent anticipated loss. Educating yourself about the ways anticipatory grief can manifest and how you can cope can help you to understand and process what you are experiencing.
Support groups: Because anticipatory grief can feel isolating, it can help to get outside of that bubble of isolation by connecting with other people who are experiencing anticipatory grief too. Just having people you can relate to or who can share coping ideas with you can be a big help.
Counseling: Receiving counseling from a caring individual who is familiar with the process of anticipatory grief can be another psychological and emotional lifeline when you are struggling. Being able to talk out our emotions can help us to process them and make sense of the situations we are facing.
Sit with your feelings: You are probably going to find yourself experiencing a lot of uncomfortable feelings during anticipatory grief. It is important to understand that all of these feelings are okay. Trying to suppress them will not make them go away; it will just make the entire process harder.
Live life in balance: You are going to need to spend time and energy focusing on and processing your grief. But you also are going to cope better if you continue to maintain balance in your life. If you can, try to keep up with other activities. Take care of your loved one, but take care of yourself too.
Work through unresolved issues: When a death is sudden, it takes away any chance at resolution or reconciliation. While anticipatory grief is painful, try to look at this situation as an opportunity to address those issues while you still have the chance.
Spend time with loved ones: Spend as much time as possible with those you love. Doing so is a way to create memories for yourself and for them.

Here’s How to Support a Loved One Nearing End of Life

December 2, 2022 by Golden Rule Hospice

When a loved one faces a terminal illness, it can be difficult and emotionally charged. You may feel helpless and uncertain of what to do.

There are many things you can do to support them during this time.

Supporting a Loved One Who Is Near The End Of Life

Let Them Know That They Matter and That They Are Loved. Make sure to express your appreciation and admiration for all they’ve accomplished, and let them know how much your relationship has meant to you. Encourage other family members and friends to do the same so your loved one knows how much they’re loved and cared for.
Let Them Feel That They’re Still in Control. It’s important to let them maintain an everyday life for as long as possible, doing the things they can. Once they need help to get through each day, always ask their opinion and ensure their wishes are followed.
Don’t Make Them Talk about Their Current Condition. If they don’t want to talk about the details of their illness with you, it’s probably because they don’t want to worry or upset you. Just be there to offer support and love; they will come to you when they’re ready to talk.
Make Them Feel Heard. Listen carefully to what they’re saying and ask questions to get clarification. Help them to weigh the pros and cons of their options and to think through their fears and concerns. Let them know that you’re there for them and support whatever decision they make.
Make Their Space Clean and Comforting. Make their room feel like home by keeping the area free of clutter, hiding or disguising medical supplies, and surrounding them with their favorite things. Pictures, flowers, artwork, music, and above all, people, will help make the space feel more comforting.
Alleviate Their Fears. If your loved one is afraid, try to talk to them about their fears. See if you can do anything to help make them feel better. Sometimes just talking about what they are afraid of can help.
Ask Less, Act More. Instead of waiting to be asked for help, try to anticipate ways to be helpful to your loved one. They may not be able to identify or articulate the areas where they need help, so if you see a way you can help, just do it.
Reassure Them That It’s Okay to Go. Tell your loved one that you have taken care of everything and that their family will take care of each other. Let them know it is okay to let go when it is time. This will help them to pass away peacefully.

Hospice Care for Your Loved Ones

When a loved one is nearing the end of their life, it can be difficult to know how to best support them. One option is hospice care, designed to provide compassionate care for terminally ill patients.

Hospice care can be provided in various settings, including the patient’s home, a hospice facility, or a hospital. Hospice care teams typically include doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers, and they work to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual support for the patient and their loved ones.

I truly don't even know where to start. Golden Rule was EXCELLENT from the time they showed up at the hospital to go over paperwork, to the very end and even after my cousin passed away. It was one of the hardest situations I have ever been in and Golden Rule made it as seamless as possible. The intake nurse was very thorough in the beginning, every nurse that came was so kind, our main hospice nurse, Shameka, was literally incredible, as was the weekend nurse Deanna that came by. Tre was our main CNA and she was also great! Myclette came by on several occasions to check in. Honestly, from the CNA, nurses, to the Chaplain, I don't think I went three hours without getting a call or text every day and someone coming by nearly every day. I cannot recommend this company enough. No one ever wants to be in the situation where you have to use hospice, but if you are in that situation, I honestly wouldn't choose anyone else. They aren't just there for medical stuff, they truly care and it was very apparent. The day my cousin passed, Shameka was there for two hours because she knew it wouldn't be much longer and kept saying "I don't want to leave her." She even was emotional at one point because she could just sense how special my cousin and family truly was. I had a few phone calls from different staffers and nurses just to see how my family was doing, after my cousin passed away. They truly do care. I am sure I am forgetting details but I can promise you, if I am ever in this situation again (although I am ok if I am not...🙃), this is who I am calling.

My wife went really fast, was gone in three days. She just loved our nurse and the caring and compassion she showed my wife. It meant a lot. They immediately set about to make sure she was in no pain. She passed away and her face showed no sign of being in pain. She looked like she was peacefully sleeping. Thanks for the care you gave her.

This is our first experience with Golden Rule. So far, so good. Each week we receive a report as the facility...we like that.Vivian, the CNA has been the BEST-compassionate for sure. Reggie responds quickly and is attentive to the need of resident and staff. As the Executive Director, we are pleased with Golden Rule Hospice.

From Tracy Ayers & Kurt Kinoshita. The staff from beginning to end were gentle and thoughtful with all their interactions. From Angie, the intake nurse, to Chris who was filling in in those first days. Also Liz and the volunteers who checked in during the whole process. Also the nurses who helped answer my phone call questions. Most importantly were Reggie my hospice nurse and Vivian my CNR. Those two helped me know what we were doing for my wife was correct. I thank you for the upfront honesty when I asked for it. I especially am so thankful for the amount of respect Reggie and Vivian showed my wife. I cannot say more about the whole process and how easy it was for me to use Golden Rule.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Shamile and Vivian and the rest of the Golden Rule Hospice team who cared for my dad. They were incredibly caring and responsive to all of his needs, always treating him with the utmost compassion and respect. Their ability to communicate with us through text made things so much easier during hard times. It gave us peace of mind knowing we could reach out at any moment, and they always responded with kindness. Truly, these are loving and dedicated people who go above and beyond. My dad was always so comfortable with Vivian, and after being agitated for hours, her gentle care would relax him so much that he would fall into a peaceful sleep every time she visited. We felt supported every step of the way, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of hospice care.

We engaged with Golden Rule to help care for our seeet Mimi. It turned out to be a long 7 months, but the wonderful people at Golden Rule were with us every step of the way. From our side, Stephanie, who showed such love and compassion to our Mimi, to the social worker who helped us source additional care, to the spiritual provider who checked in with us regularly, to our nurse, Chris, who ensured Mimi received the best possible care, and to all the folks behind the scenes. Everyone was here not just for our loved one but to support the family and to help reduce the burden anyway they could. Whether it was getting us equipment and supplies or just checking in, they were always there for us. It is an incredibly difficult decision to call for hospice care, but when the time comes it is the best decision. Please don’t try to do it alone when these wonderful people are here to help. We wanted our sweet Mimi to pass away at home and that never would have been possible without the team at Golden Rule.

Her gentle demeanor and reassuring presence have provided comfort during this challenging time.One of the things that stand out about Ms. Baker is her attention to detail. She goes above and beyond to make sure our loved one is comfortable and receiving the best treatment possible. Whether it's adjusting pillows, ensuring medication schedules are followed, or simply offering a listening ear, Ms. Baker's dedication to her work is evident.Furthermore, Ms. Baker is proactive in addressing any concerns or changes in our loved one's condition. She communicates effectively with the rest of the hospice team, including nurses and doctors, to ensure everyone is on the same page regarding our loved one's care plan.Overall, I cannot speak highly enough of Ms. Minnie Baker and the care she provides at Golden Rule Hospice.

Harlee and Stephanie from Golden Rule provide hospice care for my sister who is a resident in the memory unit at The Lodge near Jasper. As my sister’s disease progresses she needs professional and loving care beyond what the Lodge’s staff can provide (they also do a great job) - but the hospice care Golden Rule provides is necessary and critical. The extra care my sister receives is making a difference for my sister’s well being. They address issues quickly and ensure my sister’s care, from them and the entire Golden Rule hospice team and they coordinate well with the memory care staff. If you need hospice care, I definitely recommend you check out Golden Rule.

When Piedmont Fayette Hospital abruptly informed me that my father was going to die, and they were releasing him to home hospice at my house. I was shocked and in a panic. Because of that, I regrettably took the social workers recommendation for the initial hospice provider- Compassus… (see that review separately) they were AWFUL.I started frantically searching for another hospice provider which is how I found Golden Rule Hospice and let me tell you, they are INCREDIBLE!Home hospice is not an enjoyable experience by any stretch of the imagination, but the folks at Golden Rule made it as bearable as I think, such an experience can be. The difference between the two providers was stark; callous indifference from the first one to genuine Care and compassion from Golden Rule. Every person I encountered from Golden Rule was gentle, patient and kind. Not just to my father, but to my husband and me as well. In fact, my husband had a business trip scheduled for the following week and I was fretting about how I would manage by myself and they told me not to worry, they’d find my dad a bed in an inpatient facility for the night, which was a huge relief- even though we ultimately didn’t need it.I also wanted to find an aquamation provider for my fathers remains but I was unable to locate one on my own so I decided to ask the social worker assigned to me at Golden Rule and she quickly got back to me with the only provider in GA!! (At the time at least)The staff continued to follow up with me after my father’s passing to check in on how we were doing, it felt like they genuinely cared. Thank you golden rule for living up to your name!

My experience with Vivian Robinsonfrom hospice @ Montclair/ Clairmont place has been phenomenal she’s very knowledgeable and explains things very easily for you to understand. Vivian is great at what she does and not to mention very caring and thoughtful with the patient and their families. I’ve had the pleasure as a Private caregiver to experience all of her greatfulness and loving compassionate spirit, she’s been wonderful with my client and I’ve seen how great she works with other residents she goes over and beyond also by providing beautiful accessories and clothing for the residents to look nice at all times. Lastly from everyone I’ve met thru Golden Rule are great at what they do and everyone is so loving and caring and they really care about the patients and are not just there for a check which makes a huge difference. I would highly recommend Vivian and any other staff from Golden Rule for your hospice care needs. Excellent job

Once hospice was suggested for my mother, I got several recommendations and during a very difficult time was pleased with our choice of Golden Rule! From the initial meeting, to the compassionate care my mother received for 5 months , to follow up phone calls after my mother passed, the entire staff was highly personable and professional. My mother always felt comfortable and confident with her caregivers. Her wishes were always considered and she was treated with such dignity. Penny was an awesome nurse, always willing to have the most difficult but honest conversations with me ! If your loved one is in need of hospice / palliative care I can assure you that he/she will be “in the best hands” with Golden Rule

They provide the best service ever to our Residents in their care. Their clinical manager, Barbara Folks-Pryce, who comes to our community is the reason I choose this provider as our preferred hospice group. She is professional, kind, and understanding. She excels in listening, anticipating the needs of our Residents, and executing our requests. We greatly appreciate her excellent communication with our nursing staff and that she's always available whether in person or by phone. I'm truly impressed with Barbara's exemplary work performance. She's an excellent representation of Golden Rule Hospice.
