A resident’s son happened to be driving by The Legacy Willow Bend when he felt an inclination to stop and see his Mom even though it was not his usual visiting time. He found his mom with a hospice volunteer discussing the quilt she and his mother have been working on together. Since a stroke, his mother has not been able to quilt, but the hospice volunteer has been taking his mom’s creative direction to make a Montana inspired quilt. This process bought great joy to his mom. He shared with The Legacy team that he had not seen his mother that happy in a long time.
Shortly after this visit, the hospice patient peacefully but unexpectantly passed.
Both the son and the hospice volunteer have a special memory of that happy experience that resulted from an impromptu visit. It gave the son some peace that his mother was so cheerful and joyful just prior to passing. Due to this, he was more accepting of her unexpected passing. He was grateful for everyone’s care of his mother, but especially so seeing firsthand how our hospice volunteer made a positive impact on his mother’s life.
