Our purpose is to support the spiritual, emotional, mental, physical and practical needs of individuals (and their family and caregivers) who are in the dying stages of their life. For our community, we serve to initiate, change, and promote the consciousness and conversations around death and dying. Our mission is to "restore death to its sacred place in the beauty, mystery, and celebration of li

fe." ~ Conscious Dying Institute. "The only way death is acceptable, is because we, as humans beings, live for something bigger than ourselves."

Hospice nurses have lots of conversations about this. These are the reasons:

When a loved one is dying, being told "we're not giving fluids" can feel shocking — even cruel. But it's actually an act of deep care. 💙

At end of life, the body is naturally shutting down. The kidneys can't process fluid. The lungs can fill up. The gut has stopped working. Adding IV fluids doesn't bring comfort — it can cause breathlessness, swelling, and distress.

What we do instead: gentle mouth care, moisturized lips, and being present.
Withholding fluids is not withholding love.
Save this to share with a family who needs to hear it. 🤍
