Supporting Illinois families for over 15 years taught us that demanding previous roles from terminally ill patients creates frustration preventing genuine current connection. Our staff answers at 847-777-8888 continuously because Hampshire residents need immediate help releasing expectations based on who patients used to be. We help families recognize that terminal illness changes people fundamentally, that expecting previous capabilities creates disappointment for everyone, and that accepting current reality allows genuine connection with who patients are now rather than constantly mourning who they used to be.
