This podcast, hosted by Hospice of St. Lawrence Valley, encourages conversations about topics most people avoid. The short conversations cover everything from end-of-life planning, palliative care, hospice care, death, dying, and grief. Our hope is that by talking about these things more everyone will be able to face them with a little more courage, compassion, and maybe even a laugh or two.


It's a journey we're all on. Let's talk about it!

    The End of the Palliative Care Journey
    Apr 15 2026

    On today’s episode we’re focusing on the end of the palliative care journey for someone, which as we’ve learned can start far before hospice care would be appropriate and people can be on for years.

    Palliative care can help support someone living with a chronic condition for years before their illness reaches a point where they’d qualify for Hospice. However, once that chronic condition gets to a point where a person’s life expectancy is six months and they no longer want to seek curative treatment the palliative care journey draws to a close and a referral to Hospice may be made.
