Living With Terminal Illness

Living with a terminal illness and caring for a loved one can bring significant physical and emotional stress, encompassing a range of feelings such as anger, anxiety, denial, and depression. Adjusting to a serious diagnosis takes time, but understanding your choices and discussing your wishes and goals for care can help alleviate anxiety and guide your decision-making. At Mt. Hood Hospice, we offer a comprehensive, team-oriented approach to hospice care, focusing on expert medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support tailored to the needs and preferences of both patients and their families. We believe in the right to a dignified, pain-free end of life, ensuring families receive the support necessary during this challenging time. Additionally, advance care planning is encouraged, providing guidance on preferred treatments and ensuring your wishes are honored if you are unable to speak for yourself, ultimately offering peace of mind to you and your loved ones.
