A place with time and space to have discussions about the big things

And let others share the load.

Hospice is a place to remember

A place to reflect on the changes and troubles and stresses and worries
And a place where those troubles and worries can be faced, and acknowledged, and can therefore be put into their rightful place rather than becoming huge and overwhelming.
Hospice is a place where people aren't afraid to talk about the unthinkable

Whether there are two children sleeping peacefully or eight children playing drums, hospice somehow remains a peaceful place
Where, no matter how busy the staff may be, someone is always available for a chat.
And despite the intensity of the conversations, the seriousness of the problems, the complexities of the child, hospice is a happy place.
