Florence Pieterse, wat 18 jaar gelede die eerste keer met die Stellenbosch-hospies te doen gekry het, getuig van di\u00e9 hospies se holistiese hulp.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kanker is in 2007 by Pieterse, van Idasvallei, gediagnoseer en sy is drie maande gegee om te leef. Sy het by die hospies vir ondersteuning aangeklop.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Aan die begin was hospice soos ‘n vloekwoord, maar as jy deur die proses is soos ek, kry jy ‘n heel ander siening. Die manier waarop hulle met jou werk, kry jy n\u00earens meer nie. Jy is nie net ‘n pasi\u00ebnt nie \u2013 jy is ‘n mens en ‘n familielid. Indien hulle jou pyn kon wegneem, het hulle dit ook gedoen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ek sal die hospies ten volle aanbeveel. Hier het hulle ‘n pad saam met my gestap. Selfs nadat ek in remissie was, het ek nooit kontak verloor nie. Ek was deel van die ondersteuningsgroepe en het praatjies saam met hulle gedoen. Nou het ek fase-4-longkanker. Nadat ek die nuus ontvang het, het ek gedink ‘bel vir suster Brandt, sy sal weet wat om te doen’,” vertel sy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Stellenbosch-hospies help staats- sowel as private pasi\u00ebnte. Behoeftige kli\u00ebnte word ook gehelp deur Woolworths se Food Forward SA-projek wat kos aan die organisasie skenk.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Brandt is die belangrikste dat alle kli\u00ebnte met menswaardigheid gehelp word om te verseker hulle het die beste lewensgehalte moontlik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Leef voluit totddat jy sterf \u2013 dit is wat ons glo. In baie gevalle het kli\u00ebnte konstante pyn en ons help hulle om hul medikasie reg te gebruik of om na alternatiewe pynverligting te kyk. Die emosionele uitwerking wat ‘n terminale diagnose het, moenie onderskat word nie. Ons help beide die kli\u00ebnte sowel as hul ondersteuningsnetwerk om dit te verwerk. In sommige gevalle is dit die families wat meer met die diagnoses sukkel as die kli\u00ebnte self. Die onder-\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
steuningsgroep en die werk wat Hospice se maatskaplike werkers doen, bied gemoedsrus en ‘n oor vir enigeen wat dit nodig het \u2013 24 uur per dag.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pieterse s\u00ea Brandt het haar selfs bygestaan toe haar man, Marvin, ‘n paar jaar gelede oorlede is. “Elkeen wat hier betrokke is, het ‘n passie vir wat hulle doen. Hulle ken elke pasi\u00ebnt op die naam \u2013 waar hulle woon, wie hul familie is en wanneer hulle oorlede is. Die span is ongelooflik en elkeen weet presies wat hul taak is en hoe om dit tot die beste van hul vermo\u00eb te doen. Hul omgee is eindeloos,” s\u00ea Jennilee Geduld, die hospies se bestuurder.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Geduld s\u00ea sy is in verwondering van die twee susters, twee maatskaplike werkers en ander personeel se omgee. In die gevalle waar kli\u00ebnte afsterf, kan hul geliefdes steeds ondersteuningsdienste ontvang om die verlies te verwerk. Geduld het vanjaar by die span aangesluit en s\u00ea haar fokus is om die persepsie van die hospies te verander en om geld in te samel om hul dienste uit te brei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Sedert ek hier werk, het ek baie meer mense by ons deure sien uitstap as wat oorlede is. Die Stellenbosch-hospies sal eendag ‘n w\u00eareldklas-fasiliteit wees, maar ons kan dit nie sonder ons borge en ondersteuners doen nie. Ons wil die plek wees waar mense vir die beste moontlike diens aanklop.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
