What Happens if You Die At Home Alone?

What Happens if You Die At Home Alone?
One of the benefits of choosing in-home hospice care when faced with a terminal illness is that you have a trained volunteer visiting you in your home at regular intervals to check on you. While most people will also have a caregiver to help as well, what happens if you are alone for periods of time and happen to die during one of those times? In this episode, we’re going to go over what happens if you die alone in your home and give you some tips and precautions you can put in place to make sure you’re not forgotten when you die, or even prevent the situation from happening in the first place.Support the showListen on 91x FMYou can listen to episodes of "Changing Lives" on 91x FM each Monday (except for holidays) at 9:05am.

Changing Traditions After the Death of a Loved One
The holidays can be a painful time for many who are grieving the loss of a loved one. There are oftentimes traditions or events that a person would be involved in that they are no longer around for, and that changes the dynamic of the whole celebration. Maybe they always read a certain story, baked a certain dish, or were integral to the holiday. Or even if it was just their presence that is missed, the first holiday following a death will be different than normal. Learn more about changing traditions after a death on this week's episode of "Changing Lives".Support the showListen on 91x FMYou can listen to episodes of "Changing Lives" on 91x FM each Monday (except for holidays) at 9:05am.

Planning the Care You Want at the End of Life
Most people tend to avoid having end of life care discussions. Who wants to talk about dying when talking about living is much easier and exciting! It’s much easier to envision a peaceful death where one dies quietly in their sleep. This scenario although idyllic, is not the norm and choices about end-of-life care often happen in the moment and can be very stressful for family members who must make life-altering decisions with little input or information from their critically ill loved one. Learn all about planning your end-of-life care in this week's episode.Support the showListen on 91x FMYou can listen to episodes of "Changing Lives" on 91x FM each Monday (except for holidays) at 9:05am.
