Hi all,

I’ve been asked to think of items to keep in a room for a family member to sleep in if their relative is on end of life.
I’ve got inspirational quote packs, bible, prayer books, poem books.

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What about a list of suggestions on what they can do for their loved one. Some families feel the need to be doing something to feel useful. Lavender lotion for hand massages
Brush their hair
Toothettes for mouth care
Bring family photos to look through to go down memory lane.
Read to them
And a book of what to expect at the end of life’s journey.
A cozy blanket
Tooth brush
Gift certificate to local pizza place or cafeteria
Coffee, tea, bottled water, granola bars

We have a small kitchen island on wheels, with a keurig, that we stock with the above items and other things. It can be rolled right into any room.
