Myth 3: Choosing hospice means giving up hope. Truth: Hospice focuses on shifting the goals of care from curative to comfort-oriented. It doesn't mean giving up hope but rather redefining hope to focus on the best possible quality of life during the remaining time. Hospice provides support for patients and families to make the most of their time together. We have more information about hospice on our website; click the link in our bio.

"As marketers, we have the power to reshape the narrative around hospice care. Too often, it’s misunderstood as just end-of-life care, but it’s so much more—it’s about dignity, comfort, and support for both patients and their families. Our role is to create campaigns that shift public perception, highlighting the true essence of hospice care as a compassionate and essential service. By telling these powerful stories, we can change how hospice care is viewed and advocate for the support and funding it deserves." Share your thoughts and let’s shift the dial on hospice care together. PS. This is Rae, she’s 6 and you can tell by her face she knows how important this is 🫶🏼

My heart wrenched as I watched this video. It was a hard video to watch, especially when Andrew answered the question: Do you want to die at home or in a hospice?" A powerful reminder of hospices' vital work in providing compassionate care during difficult times. I asked myself what was it like for Andrew to make that video. In those first few seconds, you could see a change in his expression as he answered, realising that whatever brought him to St Francis Hospice - who are very good, by the way - his situation was undeniably real. It's a tough place to be. Watching this video made me reflect on how often we are encouraged to be grateful for even the slightest things. While this is a good practice, I invite you to take this further. Consider this: Are you noticing what you are constantly thinking about? Are you replaying past situations, incidents or comments that hurt you? Do you continue to relive it? Because stress is widely recognised as a significant factor contributing to many illnesses. Notice what you are thinking about and ask yourself if those thoughts are serving you to live a happier life. Is it worth it? As morbid as it sounds, the Stoics had a phrase worth remembering: memento mori—remember you will die - as a profound reminder of our mortality and the impermanence of life. I repeat it to myself whenever I notice I'm making a big deal out of nothing. Make the most of your week ahead.
