How can I support a friend or loved one in hospice care?
I think to support a friend or a loved one in hospice care. Be there for them. Visit with them. I know everyone looks for the right things to say or do. There's nothing special. There are no right words. It's a time where just your presence makes a difference. If they want to talk and have serious conversations, by all means be willing to be there. And if they just want to talk about baseball or cooking, just be willing to keep it light. But really know that it's your companionship that is the best way to support your loved one or your friend.
