    Carrying Stories Home

    The shift may end, but the stories don’t always stay behind. In this episode, Ashton, Angela ,and Jack open up about the words, moments, and images that follow nurses home after work—and how carrying those stories can impact personal life, relationships, and mental health. They talk honestly about how they cope: small rituals, humor that only teammates understand, leaning on one another, and knowing when therapy and support are necessary. And they share the paradox so many in hospice know well—holding grief, while also feeling deep gratitude for being invited into some of life’s most sacred moments. If you’ve ever wondered what caregivers carry long after the shift ends, this conversation is for you. 📞 If you or someone you love could benefit from compassionate, supportive hospice care, contact Abundant Hospice at 210-608-0081.Because no one should carry this journey alone.

    It’s the drug everyone whispers about — the one families fear, misunderstand, and avoid talking about.Morphine. In this episode of Dying Over Here, hospice nurses Ashton and Raven pull back the curtain on one of end-of-life care’s biggest misconceptions: the belief that morphine causes death.

We’ll talk about when to start it, how it’s monitored, and why understanding morphine can completely change how families experience the final days of life. 💉 Because morphine isn’t about giving up — it’s about giving comfort. #DyingOverHere #HospicePodcast #HospiceNurse #MorphineMyths #EndOfLifeCare #HospiceStories #DeathPositive
