OVERVIEW:
Families facing serious illness often find themselves navigating the delicate space between holding onto hope and accepting the reality of what lies ahead. This session explores the understanding that hope and acceptance are not opposites. Families do not have to choose one or the other, and clinicians can play an important role in helping them live in the space where both can coexist. Participants will learn practical communication strategies that honor hope while gently fostering understanding, preparing families for what to expect, and providing compassionate guidance throughout the course of serious illness and end-of-life care.
OBJECTIVES:
By attending this training, you will be able to:
1. Describe the coexistence of hope and acceptance in serious illness and end-of-life care.
2. Identify communication strategies that support families while honoring both hope and reality.
3. Recognize common emotional responses experienced by families as illness progresses.
4. Apply compassionate approaches that help families feel supported without diminishing hope or forcing acceptance.
AGENDA (all times are Eastern):
3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Presentation
PRESENTER BIO:
Gabrielle “Gabby” Jimenez is a hospice nurse, an end-of-life doula, and a conscious dying educator. She has written four books, writes a weekly blog, and has a hospice Facebook page that has more than 178,000 followers. Her focus is on trying to change the culture relative to death and dying by helping others to feel more comfortable talking about death. And while she sees a lot of death, what she really finds joy in is her lessons, which are about love, life, culture, tradition, and faith. She combines her experience as a hospice nurse with her in-depth doula training to help her to be more present at the bedside, bringing both patient and family together at that intimate moment of death. She teaches courses on end-of-life care that are helpful to anyone who works in this field, offering guidance to people who are navigating or caring for someone who has a terminal illness. She also teaches two Ritual & Ceremony classes; one that focuses on grief and loss, and another that focuses on forgiveness of self and others. The legacy she hopes to leave behind is that she helped improve the way people are cared for when they die, and that she inspired others to do this work well.
