I’ll never forget the first time I witnessed a peaceful last breath. #Palliativecare is about life, not death, but caring for patients in those final moments of life is a tremendous privilege. A reflection I drew for @literature_med (1/3) #graphicmedicine muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/9…

📚@SchenkerYael, @rabob, & I ask in @JPSMjournal🤔Are #PalliativeCare specialists expected to provide an extra layer of support to all primary team members (beyond our obligation to patient/family?)➡️We worry this model is not reasonable nor sustainable🔗: jpsmjournal.com/article/S088…

My friends and I think a lot about what language to use with seriously ill patients and how it impacts healing. Sometimes we write about it for @MayoProceedings ❤️‍🩹@ProfLenBerry @gfgrafton Never-Words: What Not to Say to Patients With Serious Illness sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

3) Remind caregivers that often they are their own bully, not allowing them to care for themselves! 4) Seek research funding to help support your clinical mission.

5) Every session with a caregiver may be the last session because as CG have limited time. They can become overwhelmed and not able to come again. 6) Save slots for bereavement. Needs increase after death.

7) If CG won't accept help (saying "we're fine" but they aren't), normalize the benefits of getting and giving support from others who know what it's like. Invite. Support groups can be full of practical (not just emotional) support. Can YOU help others in a support group?

1) Screen for caregiver distress every time, not just at intake as caregivers may not recognize distress early on. 2) Self-care is never selfish. It is what allows caregivers to take care of their loved ones.
