Care on Your Terms - Episode 3: More than a benefit
This episode begins with a conversation between Hospice of the Piedmont team members Trent and Kat as they answer two questions many families ask when considering hospice care: "Is hospice care expensive?" and "What does the hospice benefit actually cover?" Together, they'll discuss the hospice benefit and the wide range of services and support available to patients and caregivers. Then, in the second half of the episode, we hear from Susan, a caregiver who spent years supporting her daughter through a serious illness. She'll share how hospice helped lift burdens, provided guidance during a difficult time, and supported her family long after her loved one's death.

Grief on Your Terms
Today’s episode has a slightly different rhythm from our regular Care on Your Terms podcast as we shift our focus to grief. This episode - called Grief on Your Terms - welcomes Leigh Tysor, a talented writer and artist, who shares one of her writings - her personal story of grief in her own words. As she shares, you'll hear about love, responsibility, loss, guilt, and healing. You'll hear what it means to care for others and what it takes to finally turn that same care inward. Most of all, you'll hear how Leigh is learning to grieve on her on terms.

Care on Your Terms - Episode 2: Redefining Hope
Each episode of Care on Your Terms will weave together two conversations around a common theme. First, we’ll explore common hospice questions with those who provide this care every day. Then, we’ll hear a real-life story from someone who has experienced it – sharing what “care on their terms” truly looked like.
In this episode, we begin with an insightful discussion between Chief Executive Officer Trent Cockerham and Hospice Nurse Practitioner Taylor Spencer about a question we commonly hear - "Does choosing hospice mean I'm giving up?" Then, we shift to an honest conversation with a caregiver named Melissa about the care her family experienced.
