Special days and holidays can sometimes trigger memories and difficult emotions in individuals who have experienced the loss of a loved one.   For those who have lost a spouse or partner, Valentine's Day can feel particularly cruel because of its emphasis on togetherness, love, and romance. And, just like Halloween and Christmas, with all the lead up marketing and in-store merchandise displays, Valentine’s Day is practically impossible to avoid.   Find out how you can navigate grieving during Valentine's Day in this week's podcast.Support the showListen on 91x FMYou can listen to episodes of "Changing Lives" on 91x FM each Monday (except for holidays) at 9:05am.

What would happen if you were diagnosed with a terminal illness? Where and how would you like to live out the rest of your life? If you and your family have decided that you wish to die at home, then accessing the proper resources and services will lessen some of the potential strain of caregiving. You may desire to have an in-home hospice visiting volunteer to provide you and your family with palliative care support. A discussion with your physician, Home and Community Care Coordinator or hospital Patient-Flow Coordinator can determine if a referral to the in-home hospice visiting service would be suitable for you.

Everyone who experiences loss will grieve differently, and children of course are no exception.  The primary difference in adult versus child grief is the way in which the grieving process is demonstrated, leaving adults who care for grieving children at times confused and worried that somehow their child isn’t grieving normally.  The way children respond to death is different from adults which makes sense since their experience with death is more limited, and the ability to think in the abstract isn’t quite developed.  Find out more in this week's podcast.Support the showListen on 91x FMYou can listen to episodes of "Changing Lives" on 91x FM each Monday (except for holidays) at 9:05am.

 Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz said it best – “there’s no place like home”.  For most of us, home is where we want to be. It’s where our creature comforts are, where we feel most content and happy, and it’s where our friends and family come to visit. It’s natural, then, that some individuals who are experiencing their end of life want to spend their last days and moments at home. Learn more about what's involved with preparing for a death at home in this week's Changing Lives Podcast.

Caregiving is a challenging and rewarding part of many people’s lives.  Caregivers face many adversities, with unknowns, stressors and worries being a normal part of the caregiving journey.  The mental health and wellbeing of caregivers however is often overlooked.  This is an issue that caregivers and the organizations that support them are acknowledging and trying to address.  With approximately one in four Canadians caregiving for family members, partners, friends or neighbours, who is caring for the carers?  Find out more in this week's Changing Lives podcast.Listen on 91x FMYou can listen to episodes of "Changing Lives"  on 91x FM each Monday (except for holidays) at 9:05am.  Hospice Quinte is grateful to the support that 91x FM provides in producing the "Changing Lives" podcast.About Hospice QuinteHospice Quinte provides individuals, their families, and caregivers with compassionate end of life care, by attending to their physical, psychosocial, and practical needs, and offering empathetic care to those who are grieving through visiting hospice services and support groups.  All Hospice Quinte programs and services are provided by compassionate, well-trained volunteers and staff at no charge to the individual or their family.  Hospice Quinte serves a population of over 102,000 in Quinte West, Belleville, Deseronto, Tyendinaga Township and the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.

Many non-profit organizations could not survive without the assistance provided by loyal volunteers. In fact, a report by Volunteer Canada revealed that Baby Boomers and Senior Adults provided more than 1 billion volunteer hours in 2010! Clearly volunteering provides non-profits and charities a wealth of expertise, which allows these organizations to provide a multitude of services for free or a very low cost to their communities. However, the benefits of volunteering runs both ways and seniors can also gain many rewards from their volunteer efforts.  Find out more in this week's Changing Lives podcast.Listen on 91x FMYou can listen to episodes of "Changing Lives"  on 91x FM each Monday (except for holidays) at 9:05am.  Hospice Quinte is grateful to the support that 91x FM provides in producing the "Changing Lives" podcast.About Hospice QuinteHospice Quinte provides individuals, their families, and caregivers with compassionate end of life care, by attending to their physical, psychosocial, and practical needs, and offering empathetic care to those who are grieving through visiting hospice services and support groups.  All Hospice Quinte programs and services are provided by compassionate, well-trained volunteers and staff at no charge to the individual or their family.  Hospice Quinte serves a population of over 102,000 in Quinte West, Belleville, Deseronto, Tyendinaga Township and the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.

Even though caregiving is often thought of as a role assumed primarily by women, a recent survey found that 44% of caregivers are men.  Like their female counterparts, approximately 3.4 million male caregivers face tremendous challenges as they simultaneously try to balance work and raise a family with the physical and emotional demands of helping an ailing or aging loved one.  Find out more about the challenges men may face as caregivers in this week's Changing Lives podcast.Listen on 91x FMYou can listen to episodes of "Changing Lives"  on 91x FM each Monday (except for holidays) at 9:05am.  Hospice Quinte is grateful to the support that 91x FM provides in producing the "Changing Lives" podcast.About Hospice QuinteHospice Quinte provides individuals, their families, and caregivers with compassionate end of life care, by attending to their physical, psychosocial, and practical needs, and offering empathetic care to those who are grieving through visiting hospice services and support groups.  All Hospice Quinte programs and services are provided by compassionate, well-trained volunteers and staff at no charge to the individual or their family.  Hospice Quinte serves a population of over 102,000 in Quinte West, Belleville, Deseronto, Tyendinaga Township and the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.

** Please note:  this podcast mentions the April 2022 Advance Care Planning workshop offered by Hospice Quinte, which has now been completed **Imagine for a moment that you were not able to speak for yourself. Who would you want to make decisions on your behalf? Do your family or friends know what your end-of-life wishes are? Many people think that because they have a will and perhaps even pre-planned their funeral that they have discussed advance care planning. However, advance care planning is actually about your health while you are still alive.  Find out more in this week's Changing Lives Podcast.Listen on 91x FMYou can listen to episodes of "Changing Lives"  on 91x FM each Monday (except for holidays) at 9:05am.  Hospice Quinte is grateful to the support that 91x FM provides in producing the "Changing Lives" podcast.About Hospice QuinteHospice Quinte provides individuals, their families, and caregivers with compassionate end of life care, by attending to their physical, psychosocial, and practical needs, and offering empathetic care to those who are grieving through visiting hospice services and support groups.  All Hospice Quinte programs and services are provided by compassionate, well-trained volunteers and staff at no charge to the individual or their family.  Hospice Quinte serves a population of over 102,000 in Quinte West, Belleville, Deseronto, Tyendinaga Township and the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.

There is a question that often surfaces in the hospice environment:   How much should we involve children in dying process family members?  And that leads to another eventual question - at what age is it appropriate for children to attend funerals? Family members struggle with both of these questions.  And different cultures in our world address the topics from opposite perspectives.  How do you know what is right for the children in your life as a loved one approaches death?  Find out more in this week's Changing Lives podcast.Listen on 91x FMYou can listen to episodes of "Changing Lives"  on 91x FM each Monday (except for holidays) at 9:05am.  Hospice Quinte is grateful to the support that 91x FM provides in producing the "Changing Lives" podcast.About Hospice QuinteHospice Quinte provides individuals, their families, and caregivers with compassionate end of life care, by attending to their physical, psychosocial, and practical needs, and offering empathetic care to those who are grieving through visiting hospice services and support groups.  All Hospice Quinte programs and services are provided by compassionate, well-trained volunteers and staff at no charge to the individual or their family.  Hospice Quinte serves a population of over 102,000 in Quinte West, Belleville, Deseronto, Tyendinaga Township and the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.

Tips for Caregivers

Tips for Caregivers

2022-02-0704:45

According to Statistics Canada, in 2018 an estimated 25 percent of the population provided some form of long-term caregiving to a loved one. As those with illness face multiple losses and grief, and adjustments to a different life routine, so do caregivers.  Caregivers may face losses such as the loss of a job, broken or challenging relationships, and having to learn to adjust to new caregiving routines and skills.  Caregiving is undoubtedly one of the most rewarding, yet demanding, jobs a person will ever have.  Listen to this week's podcast for some tips to help ease the burden of caregiving.Listen on 91x FMYou can listen to episodes of "Changing Lives"  on 91x FM each Monday (except for holidays) at 9:05am.  Hospice Quinte is grateful to the support that 91x FM provides in producing the "Changing Lives" podcast.  About Hospice QuinteHospice Quinte provides individuals, their families, and caregivers with compassionate end of life care, by attending to their physical, psychosocial, and practical needs, and offering empathetic care to those who are grieving through visiting hospice services and support groups.  All Hospice Quinte programs and services are provided by compassionate, well-trained volunteers and staff at no charge to the individual or their family.  Hospice Quinte serves a population of over 102,000 in Quinte West, Belleville, Deseronto, Tyendinaga Township and the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.

Dying is a part of living.  We will all experience it ourselves and we will all lose someone we love and experience the grief and bereavement that comes with that loss.  Even though it is such a fundamental part of life – it seems to be a topic that many people have a hard time talking about.   Because it is such a difficult topic – we tend to avoid mentioning it at all.  That has created what many call a “death denying” culture.   Find out how you can confront our death denying culture in this week's podcast.

When asked, most people say they want to spend their last days at home.  And while supports for home death are improving, sometimes a family finds they need help twenty-four hours a day.  In that case, a hospice residence might be the best option.  A hospice residence is a home away from home where people come to live their final days.  When a person enters a hospice residence, it allows their family to hand over all the intricate details associated with pain and symptom management and focus on being a family member or friend.  Learn more about receiving care in hospice residence in this week's podcast.Listen on 91x FMYou can listen to episodes of "Changing Lives"  on 91x FM each Monday (except for holidays) at 9:05am.  Hospice Quinte is grateful to the support that 91x FM provides in producing the "Changing Lives" podcast.  About Hospice QuinteHospice Quinte provides individuals, their families, and caregivers with compassionate end of life care, by attending to their physical, psychosocial, and practical needs, and offering empathetic care to those who are grieving through visiting hospice services and support groups.  All Hospice Quinte programs and services are provided by compassionate, well-trained volunteers and staff at no charge to the individual or their family.  Hospice Quinte serves a population of over 102,000 in Quinte West, Belleville, Deseronto, Tyendinaga Township and the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.
