Welcome to "Caring Through Transition: A Reflection Workbook for Hospice & Palliative Caregivers".
 
Hospice and palliative caregiving is love in its most real form, and it can also be one of the loneliest, heaviest seasons to carry.
 
This workbook was created for the caregivers living in the in-between, the ones supporting someone they love while the world keeps moving like nothing is changing.
 
It’s for the quiet strength that gets you through appointments, medications, and long nights, and for the tender moments that still break through, even in the middle of anticipatory grief.
 
Inside, you’ll find reflection prompts that help you explore how caregiving has shaped your sense of identity, what parts of you have been asked to stretch, and what you are holding that no one else can see.
 
You’ll also be invited to name what you are already grieving, make space for emotions that feel complicated or hard to admit, and recognize the people, practices, and boundaries that can help you breathe again.
 
This isn’t about doing caregiving perfectly.
 
It’s about honoring your humanity while you show up with love, and giving yourself a place to come back to when it feels like you’re disappearing into the role.
 
Whether you’re feeling strong, exhausted, grateful, resentful, heartbroken, or all of it at once, this workbook offers gentle language, grounding reminders, and resources to support you through what you’re carrying.
 
You are not “just” the helper.
 
You are someone with a heart inside this story, too.
 
Let this workbook be a companion as you hold space for your person, and as you remember that you deserve care, support, and softness right alongside the love you give.
