In an effort to help you to be better
informed about hospice care in our
community, Lovejoy Hospice
produces an informative question
and answer column each month.
Look for our column printed on
the fourth Wednesday edition of
the ‘Illinois Valley News.’
Question: Should family
rituals be continued while our
loved one is ill?
Answer:
Over time, peo-
ple develop rituals in their
lives. These rituals may in-
clude a favorite yearly outing,
a special way of celebrating
holidays or birthdays, family
evenings around the dinner
table, or a favorite game
played weekly. Rituals
ground us, give us constancy
and roots, and create memo-
ries. It is important for some
patients and families to con-
tinue family and personal
rituals as well as possible
when facing difficult ad-
vanced illness situations.
These events, though, may
need to be adjusted to meet
the wishes or needs of an ill
person.
Memorial services can be
another important ritual. A
memorial gathering is an
opportunity to honor and to
create more good memories
by sharing friendship, sup-
port, and storytelling.
Remember that rituals enrich
all of our lives
