PsySSA Commemorates Hospice Week
During Hospice Week, PsySSA brings together reflections from its Divisions: CEPS, CaSP and SASCP to honour the role of compassionate, person-centred care at the end of life.
Hospice and palliative care are not only about managing physical symptoms – they are about supporting the psychological, emotional, relational, and spiritual dimensions of being human. Across the lifespan, individuals, families, and caregivers are called to navigate complex experiences of loss, grief, meaning-making, and transition.
In a society shaped by inequality and diverse cultural understandings of death and dying, hospice care calls us to centre humanity, connection, and ethical responsibility.
This collection invites reflection on how we accompany one another through life’s most vulnerable moments – with compassion, presence, and care.
