How to Find Life Lessons in Caring for the Dying

Hospice nurse and end of life doula Trish Rux believes that considering our death helps us to live life more fully.  After being at the bedside of hundreds of dying patients, she’s learned lessons that have shaped how she lives.  Trish believes most caregivers are reluctant to ask for help, especially the small things that can make a big difference. She recommends building a caregiving group who can be part of the support group from the beginning, before things get intense.  Having advance care planning discussions that focus on the specifics of end of life wishes is one of the doula roles that Trish especially loves. Taking time to have those deep conversations, focusing on the personhood, dignity, and spiritual desires of the dying person makes the death easier.  It can ease the grief for family caregivers as a result.
