Hadley Vlahos talks all about her new book, 'The In-Between,' and why she became a hospice nurse.
. But she became a single mom at 20 “and I decided that being an author was not going to cut it to support us. So I started looking into options and nursing seemed like it was an amazing option.”
Vlahos has built a huge following on TikTok and Instagram, where she will often do reenactments of experiences she’s had on the job, as well as those of other nurses. In one popular, she acts out the story of a woman in hospice whose husband suddenly died of a heart attack. The couple’s daughter pointed out that her father always opened a door for her mother, and saw her father’s death as helping to lead the way for his wife. Vlahos says the most impactful patient for her was a man named Carl.
Vlahos says that it’s important for caregivers to know that using hospice doesn’t mean they’re giving up on a loved one. “I see that a lot where they feel like by calling in hospice, that they are giving up on their mom or their dad or their spouse and they’reabout that,” she says. “The way I see it is that you’re making sure that your loved one at the end of their life is comfortable and getting what they want and desire.
