  1. How to Separate the Myths From the Truth About Hospice Care Helen Bauer BSN RN CHPN 51:25

My guest Gabby Jimenez and I are busting the hospice myths to get to the truth about end of life care.  Because there are so many misconceptions about hospice care, many people don’t choose to have care from a hospice team or they delay hospice care until very close to death.  It’s important to know the truth about all the aspects of hospice care – how medicines are managed, how morphine is really used for someone who’s Dying, when to start hospice, and Do Not Resuscitate orders work.  

Gabby Jimenez is a hospice nurse, end-of-life doula, death and dying educator, and author.  Her website and Facebook page, which are both named The Hospice Heart, offer support for people who are either terminally ill, or caring for someone who is nearing the end of their life.  Gabby has learned from being at the bedside of about 2,000 people who have taken their last breath.  Her end-of-life doula training has helped her to truly understand the sacredness of death and dying, and what it means to be present for someone during that intimate and final moment.  You can find her information and all of her offerings on her website: www.thehospiceheart.net
