I’ve always said hospice has a branding problem. Many think of it as a place to die, but in my experience helping to open the Lily House, a social model hospice on Cape Cod, I’ve seen that hospice isn’t just a place where people go to die—it’s a place where people continue to live, sometimes more fully than ever. In honor of the first anniversary of opening the Lily House, here are 12 of the most profound lessons I’ve learned: 1. Death is not an emergency. 2. Something happens at the moment of death. 3. Our real regrets are about what we don’t do. 4. Sacred moments unfold in stillness. 5. Ritual is a powerful form of connection. 6. Don’t avoid hard conversations. 7. There is room for laughter, even in loss. 8. We are so much more than our accomplishments and goals. 9. Loss is a great teacher. 10. Live with death as a companion, not a foe. 11. Death with Dignity is controversial but crucial. 12. Presence is the most powerful gift. To dive deeper into these lessons, visit hellomortal.substack.com.

Food insecurity is a growing concern across Pinellas County. We are honored to work with Daystar Life Center, Inc. through our #projecttryton initiative. According to Feeding America's Map the Meal Gap 2020 study, which used data from 2018: Pinellas County: - Food insecurity rate: 12.2% (124,430 people) - Child food insecurity rate: 19.1% (38,080 children) Hillsborough County: - Food insecurity rate: 12.6% (178,820 people) - Child food insecurity rate: 19.5% (61,600 children) It's important to note that these numbers are from before the COVID-19 pandemic, which likely exacerbated food insecurity in these counties and across the United States. Feeding America projected that the overall food insecurity rate for the United States could have reached up to 15.6% in 2020 due to the economic impact of the pandemic. #endhunger
