Being present for the deaths of my father and a dear friend early in my residency deeply impacted who I became as a doctor and as a person. Years later, when I was a geriatric fellow, he gave me another gift by asking me to review James Hallenbeck’s remarkable book Palliative Care Perspectives for the Journal of Palliative Medicine.

I believe that this expression refers to the notion that our emotional attachment to the things that make up our lives (relationships, money, success, possessions, family) are what cause us suffering, and the ability to live in the present without grasping for what we don't already have can help to alleviate that suffering.

Radical acceptance is NOT approval, but rather wholly and totally accepting with our mind, body, and spirit that we cannot change the present situation, even if we do not like it. The book “Loving What Is” by Byron Katie describes how sometimes it is the thoughts about situations that are causing you discomfort, not the problems themselves.

And so in that way, it’s not the letterhead or the four walls and the roof that are perpetuating the present, it’s the people.

The more we can notice that, the more we can actually be present for that family and actually see how they’re experiencing it.

These realizations led Barbara to sit down and write, gone from my site, the little blue book that has changed the hospice industry. We love this book, especially me, I like to show off my copy. And then our work continues in the bereavement down for a year or more to help the family with the grief. So Oliver, I like this.

I think the concern when we jump in with a desire to diagnose or pathologize, we very often inadvertently deny room for what someone needs most, which is sometimes to just be sat with and told that we’re not afraid of their anger, their sadness, their trauma, their grief, even their anxiety, that maybe there’s room for this.

Give yourself permission to feel sadness and stress, as well as grief for the holiday experience you’d prefer to be having, and remind your senior loved ones that they should do so, too. Just because your loved ones aren’t physically present, that doesn’t mean you can’t include them in your holiday activities. Send gifts early.
