Tips for Caregivers

September 20, 2021 19:00 - 4 minutes - 3.29 MB

According to Statistics Canada, in 2018 an estimated 25 percent of the population provided some form of long-term caregiving to a loved one. As those with illness face multiple losses and grief, and adjustments to a different life routine, so do caregivers.  Caregivers may face losses such as the loss of a job, broken or challenging relationships, and having to learn to adjust to new caregiving routines and skills.  Caregiving is undoubtedly one of the most rewarding, yet demanding, jobs a p...

Healthy Aging Month and Advance Care Planning

September is Healthy Aging Month. Healthy Aging Month was created to empower people over the age of 45 to take charge of their lives, their health, and their passions. This is not just about eating right and getting exercise. It is also about planning ahead.  This includes planning for your end of life care.  It can be hard to do, but creating an Advance Care Plan could save you and your loved one’s stress and time should you develop a palliative illness or become unexpectedly incapacitated....

Death Doulas Provide Comfort

August 23, 2021 12:00 - 4 minutes - 3.38 MB

Maybe you have heard of a birth doula, but have you heard of a death doula? Just as a birth doula advocates for and cares for mothers in their pregnancy and birth journey, death doulas advocate for and care for the dying in their final days and death journey. A doula’s ultimate purpose is to be present, to listen, and to attend to non-medicinal needs. While the health care team attends to needs of the body, a death doula attends to the needs of the spirit and mind, and to the practical needs...

Demands of Caregiving on Older Adults

August 18, 2021 17:00 - 5 minutes - 3.7 MB

Caregiving is often a physically, not to mention emotionally demanding job.   Caregivers that are carrying too much responsibility may miss personal appointments, ignore personal medical concerns, eat unhealthily due to lack of time or appetite, overuse alcohol, lose sleep, have fewer social connections, experience depression, and feel resentfulness and annoyance. For those who are aging, this can have an even greater negative impact on your health and general well-being than on younger care...

Receiving Care in a Hospice Residence

August 18, 2021 14:00 - 4 minutes - 3.15 MB

When asked, most people say they want to spend their last days at home.  And while supports for home death are improving, sometimes a family finds they need help twenty-four hours a day.  In that case, a hospice residence might be the best option.  A hospice residence is a home away from home where people come to live their final days.  When a person enters a hospice residence, it allows their family to hand over all the intricate details associated with pain and symptom management and focus...

Guilt and Caregiving

July 26, 2021 13:00 - 5 minutes - 3.63 MB

At Hospice Quinte we meet, and talk to, a lot of people who have become family caregivers for loved ones who are facing a terminal illness.  We hear a lot of stories and many of these involve emotions such as sadness, hope, exhaustion, happiness, grace, despair, longing, love, and even anger.  Yet, perhaps, the common emotion we hear about is guilt.  A few of the phrases we hear: "I am guilty of not being 100 percent present", "I feel guilty for being upset and wishing things were different"...

Confronting our Death Denying Culture

July 12, 2021 14:00 - 4 minutes - 3.17 MB

Dying is a part of living.  We will all experience it ourselves and we will all lose someone we love and experience the grief and bereavement that comes with that loss.  Even though it is such a fundamental part of life – it seems to be a topic that many people have a hard time talking about.   Because it is such a difficult topic – we tend to avoid mentioning it at all.  That has created what many call a “death denying” culture.   Find out how you can confront our death denying culture in t...

How Do Canadians Die? Often Not How Desired

August 24, 2020 13:00 - 4 minutes - 3.38 MB

In 2015, the Quality of Death Index, which rates end-of-life quality in eighty different countries, found Canada to be ranked in 11th place overall.
