WHAT IS A CHILDRENS HOSPICE?
Children's hospices support children and young people who are expected to die before reaching adulthood, and their families.
Due to the hereditary nature of many of the children's illnesses, some families have more than one affected child. In many cases there is no cure. In others, treatment has been tried but failed and the focus has transferred from active to palliative care.
When a diagnosis is given which offers no hope or where treatment is abandoned, families often feel very isolated and alone in their grief. Many of the conditions from which the children suffer deteriorate slowly over a number of years, placing an enormous strain on family life. Often a child will need constant care throughout the day and night and while families invest their total love, energy and attention in caring for their sick child, they can and do become exhausted. Healthy brothers and sisters often feel left out as the attention focuses on the sick child.
Children's hospices provide the necessary short breaks and range of services benefiting the children and young people themselves and their wider family, which are simply not available elsewhere.
