November is "National Hospice Month". The Alliance for Holistic Aging has chosen to honor the caring professionals who offer comforting palliative care to their patients while providing immeasurable guidance and compassion to sorrow-filled families by sharing the lovely wisdom of Dawn Thomas, a dedicated professional from Care Alternatives Hospice Services. As an organization committed to honoring the mind, body, and spirit of elders and caregivers, AHA hopes you will consider turning to caring hospice professionals if your loved one should need it:

LOVE’S OWN SPACE

The touch of a hand
The look on a face
Love travels down
And fills every space.

This life draws nigh
The end is coming
We say Thank you
For being, for sharing, for loving.

Goodbye is but a word
See you later a thought
It’s ok to let go
We know your spirit cannot be caught.

Free to explore
To do to be
You move on to a place
We cannot see.

And though our hearts
Are lonely and sad
The Memory of you
Will live on and never end.

For love travels down
And fills every space…….
