Over the past seven months, my family has experienced immeasurable loss. I recently lost both my stepmother and father to cancer, as well as my mother to a rare brain disorder. Losing one parent is difficult, but losing three is unimaginable. To say I am in a tough season of grief is an understatement.
As a social worker for over 19 years, I have had many conversations about end of life and the importance of identifying the need for hospice services sooner rather than later. I am a huge advocate of hospice and the wonderful support it provides. I have witnessed the amazing care provided, and the much-needed support given to families, not only during their loved one’s transition, but for months afterward.
As we look back at the Fall Harvest celebration last week, it is a great time to reflect on how our culture has impacted how we choose to navigate through life. Living in a community with a strong native presence I am often saddened by the lack of involvement my family chose to have with traditional ways of living.
Every so often I’m reminded of the power and love that’s found in families. As we live in and around love from infancy, that security surrounds us in an invisible cloak over the years that’s easy to take for granted.
