I'd love to hear about some of the different rituals you've been a part of.

Every video I see of yours has me feeling one overarching thought: you are exactly where you are supposed to be, doing precisely what you were called to do. As a caretaking daughter of a hemi-paralysed and left leg amputee mom who is going strong almost 9 years post stroke, but who has had a few close calls and was considered for hospice care 7-8 years ago, thank you for the beautiful and peaceful atmosphere you bring to the loved ones. I stress with my mom's situation, I can just imagine how much stress each household you care for is under. You have so much emotional strength. Thank you for sharing with all of us.

My father passed this past January at my home while on hospice care. The hospice team was exceptional and made a very difficult and heartbreaking time for me easier. The nurse stayed with me until his body was removed from my home and made sure that I was ok before leaving. Hospice teams are so underrated. It takes a special heart to be in hospice. Thank you for what you do.

My grandmother was on hospice care for two years and her nurse LOVED my grandparents. They were always nice to her, my grandfather would make sure she ate before she left the house to go to her other patients. When Grandma died, her nurse sat with my grandfather at the funeral. Hospice and ICU nurses are angels.

I love your sensitivity to your patients and I believe The Holy Spirit as well. You seem to get that " knowing" in your spirit.

I couldn't do what you do on a daily basis.. My father had hospices care.. He was only in hospices for about a week.. Now my grandmother is in hospice.. My husband doctors were talking to me about end of care for my husband.. But he's not ready yet to make a decision... He wants to try everything humanly possible to keep him stronger.. So everyone is different....
Thank you for the services you provide all of you need a pay raise.. You guys are living angels...
I. In health care or was UNTILL my husband got sick.. I did adult foster care.. It's hard but very rewarding...

You are honestly one of the sweetest people. I'm sure you make your patients lives so much better. Thank you also for helping me come to terms with some of my fears about death

You are an Angel sent from the Heavens to care for those whom need you.

[Chris-hpgg]

One of the two things that are guaranteed in life.❤

[kelliquinn]

You are truly dedicated and so connected❤ thank you Father creating beautiful people like this. I've always wanted to volunteer with hospice. I thank you Father for making me the way that I am as well. So I'm my retirement charity I'm always going to remember to bake and to create lovely lunches. I don't want to see anybody who's doing such a a job yet out of the gas station ever on my watch. Cuz you are surf and turf quality kid❤

[Cherylherb]

Love your sweetness and how kind you are. You certainly have a gift.

[MrsMissLisa]

Thank you for doing this work. It was helpful for me while my father was in hospice in his home. I had been worried about what death would look like, but because of calming education from you and other hospice nurses on social media, I was less concerned about "what's going to happen." My father's active dying phase was very peaceful, and I was actually caught off guard to receive the call that he had passed. I wasn't expecting him to pass so quickly after he became unresponsive (sleep-like state). Seeing him resting peacefully helped me immensely and it didn't feel unnatural at all.

[markromney]

It takes a truly special person to do what you do.

[madylynmontgomery]

Just listened to the audio book, right before my step mom died suddenly. I really loved your book Hadley, and think you are such lovely person. Thinking about becoming a nurse because of how much good you do in the world ❤

[ginavloet]

My father is currently going through the transition from this world to the afterlife. Watching your videos brings comfort in a difficult time. July 17, 2023 may be the day my Father passes with Hospice keeping him comfortable. We have had multiple visits from Chaplin which helps us process our feelings. Thank you for shining light on a dark topic.

[JonathanSAndrews]

I hated my freckles my whole life. How are yours so adorable??? Thanks for all you do.

[christa]

I cannot get enough of your videos, thank you so much for sharing with all of us! You have a beautiful heart and soul!! ❤
