Many families hesitate to engage hospice because they believe it’s only for the patient. But that’s simply not true. Hospice provides support, guidance, and comfort for everyone involved—including family caregivers who often feel overwhelmed and alone in the journey.
In this episode of The Care Truth Podcast, we sit down with June, who recently made the decision to engage hospice care for her brother, Fred. She opens up about:
• What led to the decision to start hospice care
• The unexpected ways hospice has supported both Fred and their family
• The therapies that have had the biggest impact, including music therapy and nursing visits
• The emotional side of making this choice—guilt, uncertainty, and relief
• What she wishes she had known before starting this journey
• Advice for families facing the difficult decision of when to engage hospice
June shares her real, heartfelt experience—the struggles, the surprises, and the hope that comes from knowing she’s not alone.
