The Work at End of Life

If you were seriously ill, what would you say to the people you love?

Four important tasks for peace at end-of-life* are telling those who matter to us:

  • Thank you
  • I forgive you
  • Please forgive me
  • I love you

Without prognostic information your patients may run out of time and energy to do this work.  A peaceful death can reverberate through generations in a family.

Reach out to us any time if we can assist with questions about prognosis and hospice eligibility.

*From Ira Byock’s book, The Four Things that Matter Most.
