This:
“Some people say, ‘My kids know that I love them,’” @IraByock says. “’I say, ‘Great! Then it will be easy for you to say it.’ No excuses and no mumbling.”

Listen patiently when you sit with someone experiencing illness. The greatest gift is meaningful time together. And remember, it’s ok to smile and laugh together. ❤️

When you ask a person w/cancer how they are feeling - be prepared for an honest response. Nausea/pain etc
If you don’t want to know - don’t ask. After asking don’t ignore comments made.
You may not be able to do anything to help - but validation goes a long way

#hpm18 — i’d imagine that venting G-tubes were likely placed in sicker patients who may not have been candidates for surgery (so not really chosen out of a patient ‘preference’)— so the G-tube may retrospectively be a Marker for patients more likely to die xitter.gq/jasawebb/status/974994…
