A few words about our staff.
It's been a rough few weeks at Hospice. Two of our nurses are on leave right now — leave they've more than earned — and the rest of the team has quietly picked up the slack, carrying extra patients, extra hours, extra everything, without complaint.
There's a night I keep thinking about: last Thursday evening. One of our nurses was on duty when three patients passed away within the same hour. Another nurse came to support, even though she was not on duty. Three families to phone and support, three goodbyes to make gentle... And when the sun came up, both were back — not resting, not recovering, but attending to the patients who were still here and needed them just the same.
That's not something you can put in a job description. It's not something you train for. It's something that lives in a person.
Our staff do this work quietly, month after month. They step in for each other when life gets hard, without making it anyone's problem but their own. They hold the hands of the dying at 2am and still show up smiling for the ones who need their strength the next morning.
We don't always say it out loud, so today we will: thank you. To every nurse and caregiver who has stayed a little longer, driven a little further, or carried more than their share — we see you, and we are so grateful for you.
Hospice Bloemfontein would not be what it is without you.

My mom passed away on 18 August 2023, after being cared for by Hospice Bloemfontein for two weeks. Almost three years later, I am still grateful every single day for the way you cared for her - and for her loved ones❤️ During the most difficult time of our lives, you wove a cocoon around us with such compassion, dignity and kindness. I will never forget it. What your nurses and caregivers do is truly exceptional. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart❤️

Happy Women’s Day!
Today, we celebrate the incredible women who make a difference every single day, especially our amazing hospice workers. Your compassion, strength, and resilience shine through in everything you do, providing comfort and care when it matters most.
We also honor the remarkable women who paved the way for us—70 years ago, they fought for recognition and rights, laying the groundwork for the progress we enjoy today.
To all the women in our lives, thank you for your unwavering spirit. Together, let’s keep lifting each other up! 💪❤️ #WomensDay #HonoringWomen #HospiceHeroes

Die Xtreme Bikers het vanjaar weer avonture beleef terwyl hulle geld vir Bloemfontein Hospice insamel.
July marks Nelson Mandela Month, a time to honour Madiba’s legacy and reflect on how each of us can contribute to a more just and compassionate society.
This year’s theme reminds us: “It’s still in our hands to combat poverty and inequity.”
Nelson Mandela International Day is a powerful call to action, encouraging individuals and organisations to recognise their ability to make a meaningful difference, one step at a time.
Whether through dedicating time, supporting those in need, or simply showing kindness, every action contributes to stronger, more caring communities.
Today we also honour Sunflower Children's Hospice for the valuable and important work they do in the community taking care of children with a life-limiting disease. One of our nurses, @Rianca Roux spent time there learning from their compassionate team, and also used the opportunity to share some gifts with the children . Thank you Joan Marston for sharing your incredible knowledge and passion!
Let us honour Madiba’s legacy by placing compassion at the heart of everything we do.

Joan you make a difference in many life’s
Congratulations to Hospice Bloemfontein!
