Family benefits from hospice well after death of mother
Sarah Kobernusz-Gibbs was a passionate quilter,
genealogist, and scrapbooker. Her husband, Monte
Gibbs, describes her as “a fiber artist,” who made and
donated 60 quilts each year to non-profit organizations
in the Olympia area such as Safeplace and homeless

teaches middle school in low-income Tacoma schools,
says, “Sarah saw the best in people, always.”

In August of 2012, Sarah was diagnosed with breast
cancer. Her husband describes her diagnosis as triplenegative breast cancer, which does not respond to
many of the new targeted chemotherapies or tools
which can reduce the risk of recurrence. Six months

big, wonderful smile.”
When Sophia learned
of the recurrence, she asked her older sister, Grace, “Is
mom going to die?” Sophia says, “Grace just nodded.
And I felt like my heart was ripped out.”
Sarah enrolled in a clinical trial, hoping to buy time
with her family. But by December, it was clear that
Sarah was nearing the end of life. At the urging of
Sarah’s physician and close friends, Sarah enrolled
in hospice. Providence SoundHomeCare & Hospice

provides medical, emotional, and spiritual support to
adults and children who are facing a terminal illness, as
well as to their families, friends, and caregivers. Monte
readily admits, “I was in denial. I wanted to stay in
denial as long as I could, to keep the children hopeful.”
Hospice began providing services immediately, and
Monte says, “The benefits of hospice were broad, and
we greatly benefited.” A bed was moved into the home
near the fireplace. “It meant a lot to us that Sarah
could choose to be where she was when she died. She
was in the center of everything.”
Meanwhile, Sophia kept many of her fears to herself.
She says she didn’t want to talk about her feelings
because she didn’t want to feel them. Looking back,
she says “I felt anger, I felt sadness, I felt hate, I felt like
I was a complete wimp because I couldn’t do anything.
I couldn’t save my mom.” Monte had hoped to get
counseling through hospice for the four children, but
Sarah declined rapidly and passed away on December
16, 2013 at the family’s home.
“She’s learned her grief is unique,
but she is not isolated or alone.”
~ Monte Gibbs, Sophia's father
The family began counseling following Sarah’s death, a
benefit of hospice to guide the family through the long
and difficult road of grief. Through the process, Monte
and each of his children identified one word they each
wanted from their family. They included “Time” and
“Trust.” Time to adjust to their new reality; trust in each
other to take care of things Sarah used to do. Monte
appreciates the references, saying, “They have been
helpful to me because it gave me the things I could carry
forward with. They have become my mantra.”
In January, Sophia began participating in
SoundCareKids, a program offered through Hospice
for children who are grieving the death of a loved one.
Shell St. Onge, the program’s bereavement counselor
and coordinator, says “in SoundCareKids, children have
an opportunity to tell their stories, express emotions,
and find acceptance.” Shell says, “We begin group nights
with pizza and play, and then kids, teens, and the adults
meet in separate peer groups for discussion and activities
designed to explore different aspects of grief.”
Before SoundCareKids, Sophia was not comfortable
talking about the day her mom died. She also worried

about what to say in the future when friends might
ask about her mom. Monte agrees SoundCareKids has
been a big benefit to Sophia. “She’s learned her grief is
unique, but she is not isolated or alone.”
Sophia is becoming more open about speaking about
her mom. She shares that about a week before Sarah
died, she was in and out of sleep, while Sophia was
sitting by her. Sophia says, “I said, ‘Mom, I feel weak,
I feel pathetic.’ And she said, ‘No, you are strong.’ And
that was one of the last things she said to me. She kept
repeating it to me before she went back into sleep.”
When complimented about the strength of his
children, Monte says without hesitation, “They’re
a product of their mom.”

Survivorship
services ramp up
throughout 2014
One of the highlights of last year’s Christmas Forest
was the community joining together to create a
permanent Cancer Survivorship Clinic. The purpose
of the clinic is to promote physical, psychological,
spiritual, and social well-being for those diagnosed and
living with cancer.
One of the most important new pieces is the ability
to provide survivorship care plans. These care plans
include a personalized set of recommendations on
how to stay healthy and care for yourself after having
cancer. According to Kasia Konieczny, Director for
Oncology Services, “Thanks to the many donors who
supported this program, work has already begun on
piloting survivorship care plans.” Clinicians and staff
are testing the plans with a small group of patients, and
will soon make them available to more patients.
“We are also currently interviewing candidates for the
clinic’s advanced registered nurse practitioner,” says
Konieczny. “The nurse practitioner will help provide
these new services to patients and their families,
and we’re very excited about beginning to offer this
enhanced level of services to our patients.”

Is It Time to Update Your Estate Plan?
There are important times you should update your will or estate plan, such as changes to:
Your family.
With births, deaths, marriages or divorces, you may
want to add or remove beneficiaries or increase or
decrease their shares of your estate.
Your property.
Events such as growth (or decline) in the value of
your estate, the acquisition of a new home, or the
sale or gift of property may necessitate changes to
bequest provisions.
Your new location.
Your estate plan should be updated if you move to a
new state. Different requirements for the execution of a
will or trust as well as different state inheritance taxes
and probate laws may make revisions necessary. Contact
an estate planning attorney in your new state.
Your charitable interests.
Will your good works continue after your lifetime? Consider
including a bequest to Providence St. Peter Foundation by
designating a percentage of your estate for our mission.
Contact your estate planning attorney if you have additional questions on updating your will. If you are
considering including a gift to Providence in your will, please contact Peter Brennan at (360) 493-7981 or
[email protected].
Your gifts allow us to fulfill our mission of sharing God’s love for all,
especially the poor and vulnerable, through our compassionate service.

Christmas
Forest 2014
The 27th Annual Christmas Forest
runs December 3-7, 2014!
Last year’s Christmas Forest raised a record $631,000,
which benefits the mission of Providence to provide
health care to all, with special concern for the poor
and vulnerable. During the five-day event, more
than 4,100 visitors attended the public viewing to
see the trees and wreaths that were decorated by
tremendously dedicated volunteers.
Mick Phillips and Marisa Wulff, this year’s Christmas
Forest co-chairs, say they’re inspired to build on last year’s
success. “The mission of Providence to serve the poor and
vulnerable drives us in our efforts this year as co-chairs,”
says Phillips, who has served on the Providence St. Peter
Foundation Board of Directors since 2006.
Through program and equipment support, the
Foundation advances innovation in health care delivery
and mission-driven programs such as the Sexual Assault
Clinic, palliative care and hospice, and addictions
recovery. Phillips adds, “At few times in your life are you
more vulnerable than when your health, or the health of
a loved one, hangs in the balance.”
There are many ways to get involved in
Christmas Forest:
• Become a sponsor! Trees, wreaths,
specialty items, and more are made possible by
generous businesses and individuals.
• Be creative! Designers (either individuals or
teams) are needed to create the themed trees and
wreaths that make the event magical.
• Procure fabulous packages! Help secure great
auction items and packages, which raise vital funds.
• Be handy! Set-up and tear-down days go
smoothly with volunteers that are good with
power tools.
If any of these volunteer areas are of interest to you,
please contact Stacey Genzlinger, Special Events
Manager, at [email protected] or
(360) 493-7985.

Letter from the President
Dan E. Davidson, D.D.S.,
Board President 2012-2014
The past year has been one to
celebrate and reflect on the many
accomplishments the Foundation
has made possible throughout our
history. It has also been a year to
begin looking ahead and build the
groundwork for continued success. It
is our great pleasure to welcome our
new executive director, Peter Brennan
to the foundation and the region.
The board has recently adopted a
strategic plan that ensures that the
mission the Sisters of Providence
entrusted to our community will
continue with vigor. Our focus
continues to be improving access
to health services for those who are
poor and vulnerable. Education will
be a high priority, both in growing
our strong medical workforce
in South Puget Sound, and in
providing continuing education and
specialized training for our nursing
and clinical staff.
As the delivery of health care in
our country is transformed, we will
see a focus on wellness and disease
prevention, and move away from a
fee-for-service model. Providence
St. Peter Foundation will champion
the continuum of care, especially
palliative care and hospice services,
increasing quality, as we respect the
precious circle of life.
The programs you see working
throughout our community simply
would not be possible without the
support of donors. During my
tenure as president of the board, I
have witnessed a community that is
vibrant and caring. Thank you for
supporting the mission of Providence
so that our residents continue to
have access to the highest-quality of
compassionate care.
Gratefully,
Dan E. Davidson, D.D.S.
