@hilo_hughes @SammyWinemaker I truly wonder the same thing so often. So many scenarios where I feel like we can and other times I’m left wondering if it’s not up to us at all. #hospice

@SammyWinemaker It is an interesting question and you wouldn't be the first to ponder it. Similar to when a person is dying, but has one 'good' day, sitting up in bed, chatting to family and then does the next day. 🤷 Do they know..?

Last week, so many of my patients died sooner than I thought. Other patients have lingered beyond my prediction. It’s the weeks leading up to #Christmas. Do you believe people can will themself to live or die in the end? Sometimes I wonder…. #MedTwitter #SundayMorning

This week, we hosted a Gingerbread House Spectacular with the kids from our Help Us Understand Grief Program. It was a special time filled with creativity and understanding, reminding us of the importance of coming together to support one another through the journey of grief.

Thank you @POGO4kids for inviting me to share my story 💛

Last week, Heart House Hospice Child Life Specialists, (@childlifealexx) and Jacki, led a week-long training for the incredible team of @huronhospice In the photo, you'll catch a glimpse of a meaningful HUUG activity that empowers us to understand emotions & navigate grief.

@LoveisBlindShow when can we watch the reunion?? Today is the 15th! I’ve been waiting for this all day 😣

Coming on because I wanna know… If Matthews gets a third hat trick next game, is that a hat trick-hat trick? A double hat trick? Hat trick-ception 🧐 @MapleLeafs @NHL @AM34

I feel like I’m only using Twitter (X?) to check to see how many people are still here. I hate the name. Hate the logo. But there’s so many cool people here 😩 #medtwitter #academictwitter are any of you on Threads? IG? X just gives me the heebie jeebies

@ChildLifeMorgan I know. I didn’t want to go to Threads full time but now I feel like maybe I should …

@ChildLifeAlexx I’m sad he changed it. It’s ugly and ominous X

Ok so now that the logo and brand are officially changed are we collectively deciding to stay on Twitter? Idk it’s just not cute. Kind of ominous …

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.

Post the last photo of your pet on your phone. I’ll go first. No cheating 😂

Hi so I just learned that on #threadapp you don’t us hashtags OR gifs and I don’t know how to feel. @MetaAI I ask again, why did you do this?! #GiveMeGifs

So I got Threads and I kind of feel like I’m cheating on Twitter since it’s the literal exact same thing…

What you see: we made bracelets 💁🏽‍♀️ What we did: processed the anger she feels since her dad died, the frustration she has with the “fight” metaphor ppl use re #cancer, while making bracelets with phrases and nicknames her dad used to say to pick her up when she needs it

@Walmart please explain how a plain women’s t shirt is $12 but a men’s is $8 🥲
