A word from your Chair …..

This past year has been a successful one for Hospice North Hastings. With help from our businesses, All Occasion Event Rentals & The North of 7 Film Fest we have continued to grow and fund new programs.

A new storage facility to house medical equipment and to protect the equipment from the elements was built with the support of a Foundation Grant, TIM-BR MART & Steve Huzarik and his crew. Our new R & R Day Program which runs each Thursday morning provides respite for caregivers and persons facing a life changing condition. This program is offered at no charge to anyone registered with the Community Care Access Centre and provides yoga, therapeutic touch, massage therapy, reiki, and lunch.

All of our growth is a result of the dedication of our Board of Directors, Staff & Volunteers and with the help of businesses and individuals in this area. We continue to run all of our programs…including our home visiting program and the residential hospice without any government funding.

The new electronic signs in Bancroft and Maynooth have garnered positive feedback from the community. We use the signs to generate income and to keep everyone informed of any special events or public Announcements/emergency notification.

I would like to thank Kelly Soanes for her many years of volunteering with Hospice and for her tenure as Chairman of the Board of Directors. I have big shoes to fill. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!! Betty

The Hospice 2013 Chili-Fest and Hike for Hospice was a great success!! Over 12 varieties of Chili were available and wonderful homemade cookies for dessert!! The brave ones walked the

beautiful grounds of the River’s Edge Golf Club and the sun came out!!! See you all next year!!!

VOLUNTEER PROFILE: Mike HenricksonVOLUNTEER PROFILE: Mike HenricksonVOLUNTEER PROFILE: Mike Henrickson

How long have you been a Volunteer? I have been a volunteer with Hospice North Hastings since May of 2011. Why did you select the Hospice to volunteer? I had heard many wonderful things about the work that Hospice was doing in our community and I wanted to become part of that. I had recently cared for my wife at home when she was ill and I realized how helpful it could be to have support available.. What has being a volunteer meant to you? I have really enjoyed my time with Hospice. There are not a lot of male volunteers and some of our male clients really enjoy talking about hunting or fish-ing with another guy for a change. I have been involved in many different aspects of Hospice care...everything from visiting clients in their own homes, to checking the

mini lights that are returned from their rental business, to helping set up for the Hospice Gala. There is always something that needs to be done!! Any special moments in your time as a volunteer that you would like to share? I really enjoy going into the homes….often I can stay with someone while their spouse takes a bit of time for themselves and goes to our R&R Day Program!! A word from the Coordinator: Mike is part of our Hospice family!!! Even when he is just walking into Hospice he is picking up the recycle boxes, when we are busy with the All Occasion Event Rentals he is packing orders up and lord knows….saving our mini lights!!! Virginia and I enjoy his time at the office and his Words of Wisdom!!

Thank you Mike – you are a treasure!!

Heather’s Highlights ….

“..birth is a beginning….death is a destination...and life is a journey” Rabbi Alvin Fine

The phone rings …. and there is another referral to Hospice. Another individual in our community and their family are facing heartache and a difficult journey ahead. We at Hospice, would not be human if we didn’t think of our own

families at this time and count our blessings. We breath deeply and grab hold a little tighter to those we love. But we also realize….that this is coming to us all….at some point we all must say farewell to those we love.

What we hope for is a quiet passing, a soft farewell, a gentle sleep for those that we love.

We are so proud to be able to offer the many Hospice programs to you our “community”…to provide you with options for care. Whether it is support for a caregiver as he/she’s energy flags, medical equipment for your home or caring for

someone in the last days of their life at our residential hospice…. it is a privilege to be of service.

On behalf of our entire team of staff and volunteers at Hospice North Hastings, “thank you” for entrusting us with the care of your loved ones.

Heather

Hospice North Hastings would like to thank Kelly Soanes, our past Chairperson and Dawn Denneboom a past Director for their years of service to Hospice and to our community!!

Hospice would like to welcome our new Board Members…..Ron Emond, Karen Bonokoski and Monica

Walker.

Things We Can Do to Help Ourselves Through the Holidays

Plan ahead!

You set the tone for the holidays. Simplify your life as much as possible.

You decide what kind of celebration is best for you. Set realistic limits for yourself.

State your needs clearly to others. Feel free to express your emotions.

Allow others to grieve differently than you do. No two people will grieve alike. Recognize the importance of your feelings and then deal honestly with them.

Learn all you can about the grief process. Cry when you need to cry.

Expect the best.

THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY!!

Because You Are

Whether you’re ninety years old, or seventeen years old, or forty-five yours of age, you have the exact same time available to you. You

have this moment. You have the opportunity to live

with all the richness you can imagine. You have the chance to

start something new, to experience joy, and to give love. No one has more, and no one has

less. This moment is now here for all to live,

especially including you. Any pain or sadness you may feel is

only near the surface. Go deeper, and experience the magnificent

beauty that lives at the heart of you. From the timeless perspective of

that beauty and goodness, worry is just plain silly. As urgent and compelling as the issues of the

moment may seem to be, the value that your life encompasses is so

very much more. You cannot lose, because you are. Right now, fully live all the beauty

and wonder of the miracle that is you.

Ralph Marston

HOW TO GET THAT SECOND WIND!

Feeling run-down? You’ll turn up the

energy in five minutes if you……

REFUEL. Snack on fiber-rich munchies such as dried apricots, celery sticks, an

apple or a few pistachio nuts. Benefit: The fibre helps control the release of glucose ( a sugar) into your bloodstream and may

prevent energy dips.

BREATHE DEEPLY. Every 1-2 hours, spend 5 minutes inhaling and exhaling deeply. It will help you feel calmer and

more mentally focused, with renewed energy.

TAKE A VISUAL VACATION. Close

your eyes and mentally escape by imagining a peaceful scene on an island, in a meadow or by the ocean. “Seeing”

yourself relaxed can be rejuvenating.

SNAP OUT OF IT. Splash cold water on your face or pop a breath mint...mint

flavours are stimulating.

TAKE A “GOOD NEWS” INVENTORY.

At the end of the day, write down all of the good things that happened. You’ll be

surprised at how much went right. Plus, you’ll set yourself up for a

good night’s sleep…

GIVING BACK how can you help?

Hospice North Hastings suffers the impact of our economy as “donor fatigue” which in the

charitable sector is rampant. Hospice continues to help people “live until they die”, cloaking them with the care and compassion they all deserve.

Please continue to help us make a difference.

• Celebrate your loved ones with a memorial donation.

• Donate stocks and bonds that you already own. • Leave a sum of money to Hospice North Hastings in your will.

• Establish a charitable trust. • Name Hospice North Hastings as beneficiary on your life insurance policy.

Thanks to Canada’s income tax legislation these charitable donations can provide you with

substantial tax savings. If you would to learn more about how you can make a difference, please contact your financial planner or our friend...Patricia Dafoe at
