HOSPICE AND ART----BOTH GO TOGETHER

HOSPICE AND ART----BOTH GO TOGETHER WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE ANXIETY OF APPROACHING DEATH BECOMES TOO STRESSFUL!

Anxiety can show up as the patient begins to realize that the body can no longer survive, and he or she has done all they can do. They begin to become restless, can not sit down for very long, move from chair to chair to bed. They are in perpetual motion. Unable to get comfortable.

Distractions sometimes help, sometimes not. Sometimes the patient must just run through this as if they are running from death. It may become necessary to call the doctor to get a prescritpion for Ativan in pill or liquid form. This medicine will possibly control the anxiety level at the first dose, but may take a couple of doses.

TRY TO ENJOY ART AND RELAXATION Music is a good distraction, friends visiting, family changing roles, a pet can help the anxiety level. Find out what is bothering the patient, if still able to talk.

I want these graphics to be enjoyable. I have several on these pages.

How about some humor!

When Abraham Liebowitz gets to school he discovers that he is the only Jewish kid in the class. But it's a decent town and nobody really bothers him.
One day the teacher asks the class "Who was the greatest person who ever lived? and why?" And to make it interesting she held a twenty dollar bill in the air and said "whoever gives the best answer will get this twenty dollars".
All of the kids called out their guesses.
One said "George Washington - because he was the father of our country."
"That's excellent" said the teacher.
Another said "Abraham Lincoln - because he freed the slaves."
"That's also good" said the teacher, reluctant to bestow an excellent, but still being polite.
One little girl said "Joan of Arc - because she saved France."
Another excellent choice said the teacher.
Then Abraham Liebowitz, raised his hand.
So the teacher called on him. "Abraham, who do you think was the greatest person who ever lived, and why?"
And Abraham said "Jesus Christ."
The teacher was shocked. "Abraham," she said "I'm very surprised. Class, I think we can all agree that Abraham should get the twenty dollars." And she handed Abraham Liebowitz the money.
At recess, the teacher was still very impressed. So she asked Abraham why he said Jesus.
Abraham said "Look, personally I think Moses was the greatest person who ever lived, but... business is business!"
