Episode Synopsis

A person with a life-limiting illness may express fear or anxiety related to possible symptoms at the end of life.  "Will I experience uncontrollable pain?" "Will I feel like I'm suffocating?" These fears, and others, are the reasons why hospice care is so crucial at the end of life.  In this episode, Sabina Diebel, RN, will explain the many ways hospice can manage a person's symptoms at the end of life, through the use of medications as well as spiritual and emotional care provided by the social workers and chaplains.   For more information, please visit our websites at Harbor Hospice, Beacon Hospice, or HarborCare Palliative Care.
