What:
Hospite – A respite for professional Hospice caregivers is designed as a FREE annual program to provide time for reflection, networking opportunities and continuing education for Hospice professionals across Iowa.
Our keynote speaker for Hospite 2024 will be Hope Edelman.
Hope is a #1 New York Times bestseller and has been writing, speaking, and leading workshops and retreats in the bereavement field for over 25 years. Hope’s first book, Motherless Daughters, appeared on multiple bestseller lists worldwide. Hope’s most recent book, The AfterGrief, offers an innovative new language for discussing the long arc of loss.

Purpose
The program will introduce care providers to different forms of grief and situations they may witness in end-of-life situations and during a family’s aftermath. Drawing from recent research, a salutogenic approach to care, and the presenter’s 30 years of experience in the bereavement field, the content will help providers recognize, understand, and support clients’ natural efforts to create stories of loss that can empower them moving forward.
Objectives
Describe how grief theory has evolved over the past 100 years.
Develop a contextual understanding for grief work in 2024
Distinguish between grief in the present and reactivated grief from the past.
Experience how expressive writing can be used as a tool for self-regulation.
Describe how individual bereavement narratives are formed.
Acquire tools to aid clients’ future narratives of empowerment.
