We navigated it as a family with more than two decades of hospice care experience between us. Even then, it was hard. We can only imagine how it feels for a family doing it for the first time.
That’s why we started Guiding Light.
You’ll find articles here that answer the questions families actually ask us — the ones that keep them up at night. Things like:
We won’t pretend to have every answer. But after 20+ years of walking beside families through this, we know a few things. And we’d rather share them here than let them stay locked in our heads.
We’ll aim for one or two new articles a month. Some will be practical — checklists, comparisons, questions to ask. Others will be stories — from families we’ve helped, and from our own life.
If there’s a topic you’d like us to write about, call or text us at (747) 222-6399 or drop us a note. This journal is for you.
To every family who has trusted us with their loved one — thank you. To every social worker, hospice nurse, and physician who has sent someone our way — thank you. And to the caregivers who show up every day at the homes we’ve come to know so well — thank you most of all.
Quality care, because we care. That’s not a slogan. It’s the promise we made to Grandfather Nick, and it’s the one we make to your family too.
