At the Four Tides Hospice Society we witness, hear about and participate in many heartwarming, heartbreaking, surprising and enlightening stories related to end of life in our community. We want to hear your life and death stories and we want others to hear them, too. We can learn from and inspire each other. If you have a comment or story to share, about how hospice or your doctor or a kind word from a stranger changed or helped you or a loved one on the death journey, let us know. If you learned or experienced something—big or little—that you want to share, share it here.
Our Video: Transforming End of Life Care in qathet
This 2024 released video highlights the work of the hospice society as well as the vision for a hospice facility in our community. Many individuals were involved in the creation of the video including community members, Tla’amin elders, board members, volunteers, medical professionals and organizational partners who shared expertise and lived experiences. We are tremendously grateful to all of you! A special thank you to Claudia Medina, the film director, for her dedication in creating this video that captures the heart of the work and the passion of the community to ensure appropriate hospice supports exist for all. Please enjoy and feel free to share! Transforming End of Life Care in qathet
