Notably, hospice care during this time wasn't limited to individuals with terminal illnesses.

]]> 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.

In 2020 Hospice Quinte introduced two new programs – Bereavement Companionship and Caregiver Companionship.  Often, people who are caring for someone with a terminal illness don’t have the time or energy to come to a support group.  The Caregiver Companionship program allows caregivers to schedule a weekly call with a compassionate volunteer that can be done at a time that works for them without leaving their home.  While many people who are grieving find a benefit from support groups – some people are more private and prefer to have one on one conversations about their loss.  The Bereavement Companion program answers that need.  Empathetic volunteers are matched with people who are grieving the loss of a loved one for weekly supportive telephone calls.  Find out more in this week's Changing Lives podcast.

]]> 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.

The creation of the “modern day” hospice is credited to Dame Cicely Saunders who, in England during the 1950’s, realized that managing pain at end of life was not enough. She recognized that there were psychological, social and spiritual aspects of the dying process that needed to be addressed as well. Be sure to check out this week's Changing Lives Podcast to learn more about Dame Saunders and the history of hospice care.

Volunteers are necessary for running any not-for-profit organization, and Hospice Quinte is no exception. The majority of Hospice Quinte volunteers are visiting volunteers, donating their own time each week to spend with palliative patients and assisting their caregivers. Volunteers also support us in our daily operations at Hospice Quinte, including our reception desk, in our bereavement support groups, with fundraising and events. Learn more about the integral role that volunteers play at Hospice Quinte and listen to their testimonials in this week's Changing Lives Podcast.

After the loss of a loved one, it’s not unusual for an individual to experience a wide range of feelings and emotions. Grief is a completely natural response to loss. It’s the emotional suffering you feel when something or someone you love is taken away. The more significant the loss, the more intense your grief will be. It’s only human to not want others to see our grief, to feel like we must deal with our grief ourselves or that our grief is too personal to share. But whether we want to admit it or not, we all need some kind of support system to help us when we’re grieving. Learn about some of the benefits of attending a bereavement support group in this week's Changing Lives Podcast.

The real answer is different for everyone, because no one grieves in exactly the same way, and there is no timeline for bereavement. Grief never ends, but it does go through changes. The first few weeks and months are filled with arrangements and notifications. You deal with shock and then very strong reactions ranging from anger and sadness to fear and denial.

Caregivers are individuals who provide ongoing care and assistance, without pay, to family members and friends who need support due to physical, cognitive or mental health conditions. Many caregivers don’t self-identify as being a “caregiver”. They often see it as part of being a spouse, child, parent or in-law, but once the role of caregiver is explained, they ultimately understand the importance of their role in their loved one’s health care. When taking on the role of caregiver, it's important to know some of the challenges you'll be faced with and what support is available to you. Discover more in this week's Changing Lives Podcast.

Welcome to Heart to Heart with Hospice Quinte.  Each episode we have important and worthwhile conversations about hospice palliative care and end of life issues.  Your host, Jennifer May-Anderson, tackles the tough issues with tenderness and the difficult discussions with dignity. 

This episode Jennifer interviews the Heart & Home Building Campaign Co-Chair John Williams and Hospice Quinte's Corporate Services Coordinator Louise Wood about the Heart & Home Building Campaign and the new Hospice Quinte Care Centre.

The Hospice Quinte Care Centre will be a safe, comfortable, quiet and welcoming place that feels as close to home as possible. Professional care will be provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and at no cost to the family.

The new 6-bed facility will be conveniently located between Belleville and Quinte West, on a 3-acre property generously donated by the City of Quinte West.

This 10,796 square foot building will be strategically positioned to maximize the greenspace, creating a home-like and peaceful environment. The Centre’s design also accommodates potential future expansion to a 10-bed facility.

It’s a part of every person’s life, and yet we don’t receive much education in that area, and many people find it challenging to even find someone to talk to about it, when the time comes. If you are a caregiver for someone who is dying, it can be even more emotionally draining. Being confronted with the death of a loved one challenges our own feelings of helplessness and grief as we are forced to take a longer look at our own mortality. It tests our belief in a sense of order and natural progression in the world around us. It also makes us ask meaningful and sometimes frightening questions about who we are, and what will happen in the days to come.

The loved one who has died leaves behind many people, including you, who are dealing with their absence in several different and meaningful ways. Some people that you have known for years or even decades may become more distant, as they have difficulty dealing with your new reality….and in many ways… the new YOU. Somewhat surprisingly, however, there is another group of people which has the exact opposite reaction.  There are many ways to refer to these people, but some just call them your “found family”. These are the people who unexpectedly step up to help you out in your moments of need. Find out more about "found" family in this week's Changing Lives Podcast.
