Hospice bereavement counselor and social worker Isabel Stenzel shares her gratitude for her coworkers and colleagues in today’s Connection Moment. She reminds us to remember our gifts and the value we bring to the care of our patients.  Isabel has a personal story of critical illness and hospice care, so she has first hand experience of the special support end of life professionals provide.  Advising us to learn and adapt to the processes we need to feel safe in this difficult time, Isabel also urges us not to lose sight of the beauty around us.  Hospice professionals are in the tough job of caring for terminally patients because they know how full life can be.  That’s what they want to provide for patients and their families. Isabel also reminds us to honor our losses, knowing that we are grieving with the whole medical community and the world.  Remember what makes you get up in the morning - your commitment to end of life care.  Find information about Isabel Stenzel at the Mission Hospice website, and watch her TEDx talk here.  Find more encouragement for your hospice journey at theheartofhospice.com.  Helen and Jerry are here to support you 24/7 with the website, blog, and podcast.
