Members expressed deep gratitude for learning about the No One Dies Alone Foundation, which provides hospice patients with caregivers, financial assistance, and companionship during their final days, especially for those without family. Several members shared personal experiences caring for loved ones in hospice and emphasized how meaningful it is to have an advocate, a caring presence, or simply someone to hold your hand when facing the end of life. A recurring theme was the recognition that true compassion means showing up for others in their hardest moments, with members reflecting on how illness has changed their understanding of what really matters and expressing hope that no one should face death alone.

Thank you for sharing information about the No One Dies Alone Foundation. It sounds like a wonderful resource for people who may not have family support during hospice care.

Thank you for sharing information about the No One Dies Alone Foundation. It sounds like a wonderful resource for people who may not have family support during hospice care.

If you're considering hospice care for myeloma, it's important to know that hospice providers offer comprehensive support beyond just medical care. They can help with:

* Pain management and symptom control
* Emotional and spiritual support
* Resources for loved ones and caregivers
* Assistance with daily living needs

Around half of people with myeloma choose hospice care at the end of life. When you begin hospice, you stop treatments meant to control the myeloma but continue treatments that help manage pain and symptoms.

Hospice care also provides mental health support, which is crucial since many people with cancer experience anxiety or depression. Having access to counseling, support groups, or organizations like the one you mentioned can make a significant difference in quality of life.

If you're exploring hospice options, talk with your healthcare team about what services are available and what might work best for your situation.

Thank you for sharing this, what a great resource to have, especially in that time of need!

I often said that there needs to be some type of resource like this for all types of patients, many times people are alone in the hospital/at home and may have loved ones that can't be there/aren't there for whatever reason. It would be nice to have an advocate, a kind voice, a helping hand!🕊️🙏❤️ 🕯️

@A MyMyelomaTeam Member,
I was asking who did not have someone to be with them before they pass on. I think it’s important to have an advocate, caring person, and help during this time. I was there for my mother, and saw how important caring help was, and hospice.

I’m so glad that there is such a much needed group out there. It shows how much people care and challenged the definition of family and community especially when it’s needed most. What about not being alone before Hospice care ? That’s needed as well.

Living with illness has changed the way I see many things… especially life, and also the end of life.

Not everyone has family beside them in their final moments. And that is something really heavy to think about.
Priase upon the Mighty lord not everyone is blessed with family at the end of life, but God places mercy in unexpected ways.

I came across the No One Dies Alone Foundation, and their work is truly meaningful. They care for hospice patients who may have no one—providing support, comfort, and even fulfilling their final wishes.

They focus o basic necessities
Comfort and life enhancement
FinLal wish fulfillment

Even those without money are not forgotten.

Sometimes we think big things matter most… but in the end, maybe it’s just having someone there. Someone to sit with you. Someone to hold your hand. Someone to remind you that you are not alone.

This reminded me how important compassion is. How important it is to be there for each other.

May Allah grant us all a good ending, surround us with mercy, and make us among those who bring comfort to others… especially in their hardest moments. Ameen 🤲

One for all and all for ont
