Coastal Hospice News
Serving Dorchester, Wicomico, Worcester, and Somerset Counties Since 1980
One of Betty’s proudest moments was
hearing Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, MD,
hospice pioneer, speak on death and
dying.
More than 30 years ago, Betty Powell
thought it might be good to bring
hospice care to the Eastern Shore. She
was part of a small group of determined
volunteers who lobbied to make it happen.
Today, Betty knows first-hand the lasting
benefit of that long-ago hard work.
These days, Betty is a patient of Coastal Hospice.
“Now I feel really secure,” she says. “Somebody
is on hand all the time if I need them, yet I can be
at home. If I need somebody to help me take a bath,
there is the marvelous Canneka. And, of course I have my
nurse Rochelle who comes every week.”
When asked how Coastal Hospice has helped she said, “It’s
taken any load of fear away because you don’t feel that you
are alone in this journey. And yet it may be a long journey or a
short one, you can’t tell, Coastal Hospice is there and I feel just really
confident. It’s been a delightful thing that I wasn’t expecting to be this
delightful.”
Coastal Hospice provides support for Betty whenever she needs it. “I know when I
call that help is available,” she said. That knowledge makes her and her family feel more
comfortable.
When asked how hospice has changed since the early days she said, “There’s a lot more happiness
than there used to be. There used to be a big dread. ‘Oh, my Lord, not hospice!’ Well, that’s not true
anymore. People are more educated and understanding. And if they don’t understand, then we’ll tell
them.”
Betty is so eager to carry the message of hospice that she recently participated in a public radio round-table
discussion on WSDL. She was also interviewed for a promotional video made for Coastal Hospice.
Even as a hospice patient, Betty has yet to slow down. She still drives, traveling to visit family and friends, reads
constantly with her book club, and even finds time to kayak. She’d be the first to tell you, hospice is about living!

Misguided Metaphor by Wendy S. Harpham, MD
Wendy S. Harpham, MD
Wendy S. Harpham, MD, is an internist, cancer survivor,
award-winning author, and mother of three. She lectures to
professional and lay audiences on issues centering around
“Healthy Survivorship,” including recovery and late effects
after cancer, raising children when a parent has cancer,
clinical trials, and finding happiness in hard times.

“How can they say that? Of all people,
they should know better!”
I excuse elderly people, realizing they
remember when cancer was “the Big C”
and patients didn’t have much chance.
I forgive young adults, too, assuming
their naiveté about terminal illness. But
when a respected national organization
– especially a survivorship group –
announces that so-and-so “lost her battle”
with cancer, I explode.
The battle metaphor doesn’t work well
for me as a patient, but that’s not the
upsetting part. It’s this notion of losing.
To lose means to give up or otherwise fail
to win a match of wits, brawn, or nerve.
Whether on a sports field, in an artillery
zone, or at a tribal meeting of television’s
Survivor, to lose your battle means you’ve
been defeated. Someone else won, and
you lost.
In some battles, the outcome depends
purely on the combatants’ talents,
decisions, and efforts. In other battles,
luck plays a crucial role. What about
cancer?
My doctors beat my original lymphoma
into remission with “big guns”
chemotherapy and bombarded my first
recurrence with radiation. Through it
all, I armed myself with good nutrition,
exercise, prayer, support group, and a
positive attitude.
Soon after being diagnosed with my
second recurrence, I screamed to the sky,
“What am I doing wrong?” Hearing such
an absurd question escape from my own
mouth shocked me into realizing the
only thing wrong was how I was thinking
about my disease.
As a physician, I had intimate knowledge of
illness as intrinsic to the human condition,
along with pain, loss, and awareness of
our mortality. I knew that my battle – if
we must call it that – between me and my
malignant cells would likely determine the
number of my days. But the important
battle ahead was that which would define
me as a person: namely, the fight to find
courage, fortitude, wisdom, and patience
in hard times. The human struggle after
cancer lies in creating meaning and joy in
whatever time we have.
“I knew that my battle – if we must call it
that – between me and my malignant cells
would likely determine the number of my
days. But the important battle ahead was
that which would define me as a person.”
First, no victor emerges from the battlefield
of hospice. Disordered sheets of cells with
bizarre nuclei don’t stand on podiums
with gold medals around their surface
antigens; malignancies – now powerless –
are buried.
Second, and far more important, is the
harm this metaphor does to patients in
their final days and to their loved ones left
behind. Dying does not mean a patient
has lost.
The first century Roman writer Marcus
Seneca said, “Fire is the test of gold,
adversity of strong men.” Before my
cancer diagnosis, I saw myself as a doctor,
wife, mother of three, mediocre violinist,
and terrible humorist. Yet it was only
after cancer, when I was sick and bald, or
closing my medical practice, or gearing up
for yet another round of treatment, that I
discovered essential truths about myself.
To say that a patient who died has lost the
battle is to insult the memories of people
that inspire me today. Ellen, Lloyd, and
Nancy are only three of my many friends
and acquaintances who nobly faced illness
and death, each with a unique blend of
hope and acceptance, humor, humility,
fire, and grace. Cancer failed to rob any of
them of their dignity and humanity.
When you hear that someone died of
cancer, all you know is that he or she
died.
Metaphors serve a useful function,
clarifying ideas and motivating people
with graphic visuals. The declaration The person who dies of incurable disease
of a “War on Cancer” in 1971 helped or some complication of treatment, but

ASK DR. DAVE
David E. Cowall, M.D.
Medical Director
Q.
How does hospice figure into
the current health care debate?
A.
There are three pieces to the health care puzzle: quality,
access, and cost. Quality: The World Health Organization
rates United States health care 37th in the world (just above
Slovenia!). Access: Approximately 47 million Americans have
no health insurance and many more are under-insured. Cost:
Americans spend 2.4 times the average of other industrialized
nations per capita on health. These costs are estimated to
double within ten years and this growth cannot be sustained
by our economy.
Clearly this is a horrible report card and reform is desperately
needed. The major contributor to this crisis is the overutilization of health resources. However, powerful groups
stand to benefit financially and/or politically by maintaining
the status quo and are willing to distort the facts in support
of their agendas. The truth is obvious: Patients should be
treated based upon science rather than profit. A return to
evidence-based medicine is overdue, and increased government
regulation will be required to facilitate the change.
Medical treatment provided to patients in the last few months
of their lives is a good model of over-utilization. Sound
data demonstrates that the hospice alternative to aggressive
conventional care for the terminally ill provides much more
comfort, a modest prolongation of life, and at reduced cost.
These patients should be allowed to die peacefully at home
surrounded by their families rather than in intensive care units.
It is time to put aside the rhetoric and do the right thing.
Interns Receive Valuable Experience
Through Coastal Hospice’s internship program students
have the opportunity to
develop new skills and
expand their knowledge
of hospice and palliative
care. From left, Bonnie
Stanley and Amy Brown,
both students at Salisbury
University are completing
internship requirements at
Coastal Hospice. Bonnie is
working with Lenora Berger in bereavement support and will
graduate with her Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work. Amy is
working at Coastal Hospice at the Lake with Social Worker
Christie Beaver to complete her Master’s Degree in Social
Work.

Coastal Hospice Staff Present
at End-of Life Conference
In partnership with the Hospice and Palliative Care Network
of Maryland, Coastal Hospice hosted the End-of-Life Nursing
Education Consortium (ELNEC) Train-the-Trainer seminar
in September. This conference was presented at the Clarion
Resort in Ocean City. Participants had the opportunity to hear
from professionals in end-of-life and palliative care. Coastal
Hospice staff members Patty Ohrum, MD, Marguerite Russo,
MS, FNP-BC, CHPN, Judith Dorsey, RN, CHPN and
Elizabeth Geeslin Smith, RN, BSN were among faculty for
this course.
The two-day conference was designed to provide nurses,
nurse educators and other professionals with essential training
in end-of-life and palliative care. Participants were provided
with curriculum and resources to share with other nursing
colleagues.
“The mission of Coastal Hospice includes education in the care
of the terminally
ill,” said faculty
p r e s e n t e r
Marguerite Russo.
“The
ELNEC
conference is one
way to reach out
to the professional
community with a
resource we know
will be helpful.”
Coastal Hospice employees Chris Underkoffler, RN (left) and Ann
Lovely, RN received scholarships to attend the conference and train their
colleagues.

How to Help a Grieving Loved One Media News
during the Holidays
New Web site!
Practical Tips for Saying, Doing
the Right Things
The holidays are quickly approaching,
and while many people look forward to
yearly traditions, gatherings with family
and friends and the general good feelings
associated with the season, some people
dread the holidays. For those who have
lost a loved one during the past year, the holidays may emphasize
their grief.
The holidays, especially the first ones after losing a loved one,
are especially difficult for the grieving person. Often, friends and
family members of those affected by a loss are unsure how to act
or what to say to support their grieving loved one during the
holidays.
Here are some helpful tips:
 Be supportive of the way the person chooses to handle the holidays. Some may wish to follow traditions; others may choose to change their rituals. Remember, there is no right way or wrong way to handle the holidays.
 Offer to help the person with baking and/or cleaning. Both tasks can be overwhelming for one trying to deal with raw emotions.
 Offer to help him or her decorate for the holidays.
 Offer to help with holiday shopping or give your loved one catalogs or on-line shopping sites that may be helpful.
 Invite the person to attend a religious service with you and your family.
 Invite your loved one to your home for the holidays.
 Help your loved one prepare and mail holiday cards.
 Ask the person if he or she is interested in volunteering with you during the holiday season. Doing something for someone else, such as helping at soup kitchens or working with children, may help your loved one feel better about the holidays.
 Donate a gift or money in memory of the person’s loved one.
 Never tell someone that he or she should be “over it.” Instead, give the person hope that, eventually, he or she will enjoy the holidays again.
 If he or she wants to talk about the deceased loved one or feelings associated with the loss, LISTEN. Active listening from friends is an important step to helping him or her heal. Don’t worry about being conversational…. just listen.
In general, the best way to help those who are grieving during
the holidays is to let them know you care. They need to be
remembered, and they need to know their loved ones are
remembered, too. (For more information on coping with the
holidays, please see page 8.)

Coastal Hospice Celebrates
National Hospice Month
with Faith
Outreach Program
November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month and
hospices across the country are reaching out to raise awareness
about important care issues for people coping with life-limiting
illness.
“Every year, more than 1.4 million people living with a lifelimiting illness receive care from hospice and palliative care
providers in this country,” said J. Donald Schumacher,
president and CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative
Care Organization. “These highly-trained professionals don’t
only provide quality medical care. They work to make sure
patients and families find dignity, respect, and love during life’s
most difficult journey.”
Coastal Hospice will host a community forum with
congregational leaders November 4 and 5 to discuss end-of-life
issues. This forum introduces a new Faith Outreach program
that Coastal Hospice is beginning with members of the faith
community.
As Reverend Sharon Hutchison, a Coastal Hospice pastoral
counselor noted, “Faith communities and hospices share a deep
concern for spiritual care. Serious illness, caregiving, the endof-life and grief raise many spiritual issues, including questions
of meaning, purpose, guilt, forgiveness, suffering, healing and
hope. This shared concern creates a natural connection among
hospice and faith communities and a common ground for
education, dialogue and partnership.”
Additional inforamtion about the community forum, hospice,
palliative care, and advance care planning is available from
Coastal Hospice.

Professional Tennis
Returns to Salisbury
From left, presenting sponsor Tom Monahan, tournament director Ed
Thomas, and tournament referee Dave Ryan take in the quality tennis.
Professional-level tennis returned to
Salisbury this August with the sixth annual
Jack Purnell-Chris Thomas Memorial
Tennis Tournament for the benefit of
Coastal Hospice. Some of the nation’s
top Division I tennis players as well as
many professional players took to the court. M a n y
of the
professional players take advantage of the proximity of this tournament
to the U.S. Open Tennis Championships in New York City as a warmup and practice for the Open. The court surface and weather conditions,
including heat and humidity are similar to those the players experience
in New York City in late August.
At the 2009 U.S. Open, Jesse Witten, No. 276 in the world and the
2008 Purnell-Thomas champion made it to the third round in the U.S.
Open. He lost to Novak Djokovic, the fourth-ranked player in the
world.
2009 Purnell-Thomas Tennis Committee has raised over $100,000 for Coastal Hospice.
Coastal Hospice employees, from left, Angie Ness, Meg Russo,

Tournament organizer Susan Purnell
celebrates with some of the players.
Mike & Karen Dunn supported the tournament by hosting a player.
Originally held from 19821993, the tournament is
named in honor of two late
local tennis greats, Jack Purnell
and Chris Thomas. Born in
1929, Purnell worked for
many years at his family’s
business, Kuhn’s Jewelers. He
was a community advocate
and a founding board member
of Coastal Hospice prior to his
death in 2002. Thomas grew
up in southern New Jersey and
Salisbury. A natural athlete,
he was a graduate of Salisbury
University, where he was a
member of the men’s tennis
team. He left the East Coast in
1980 to work as a tennis pro
in Hawaii and Guam. Thomas
died in 1982 at age 27 from
cancer.
