A Conversation About Hospice, Caregiving, and Hope with Helen Bauer, BSN RN CHPN, Founder of Hospice Navigation Services & Host of The Heart of Hospice Podcast

48 minutes

How can hospice care help us navigate life’s hardest goodbyes?

My guest, Helen Bauer, has spent over 15 years as a hospice nurse, working alongside families and patients during life’s most profound transitions. She’s the voice behind The Heart of Hospice podcast, a platform where she breaks down the complexities of hospice care and grief with compassion and clarity. Beyond her podcast, Helen is the owner of Hospice Navigation Services, where she offers guidance to families making difficult end-of-life decisions. Helen also brings a personal perspective as a caregiver for her 91-year-old mother, bringing together her professional expertise and personal experience to help others face end-of-life care.

In today’s episode, Helen shares her caregiving journey, we talk about the misconceptions about hospice, and discuss how to start those hard conversations about end-of-life care. We also discuss finding balance as a caregiver, navigating grief, and the wisdom Helen has gained from walking this path herself.

Whether you’re a caregiver, a healthcare professional, or someone looking to understand hospice care, this conversation will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and deeply connected to the humanity of this work. Thank you, Helen, for your important work!
