Arkansas Hospice volunteer shares her story on national radio program. | |
|
Thanks to Carol Garrett for sharing how Arkansas Hospice benefited her family while caring for her husband, Tom, on an insightful episode of "1A," a national radio program broadcast on NPR. “As soon as we made that connection to Arkansas Hospice, they immediately came out, they assessed our needs, and they met our needs,” said Carol, who is now an Arkansas Hospice volunteer. “The only downside is I wish we hadn’t waited so long. I wish he’d gone in sooner because I really feel like his quality of life, which is so important, could’ve been better for both of us at home.”

Grief is a very personal journey that takes everyone on a different path. But perhaps some of the loneliest and most forgotten along the way are children. Please join us for this special episode of “Speaking of Grief,” our Arkansas Hospice podcast, that focuses on children’s grief. Our guest is Greg Adams, Program Coordinator for the Center for Good Mourning at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. He is also author of "Adam Gets Back" in the Game, a children’s storybook about coping with grief and loss. | | | |
