Humor, at a Time Like This?

Rick Schneider

There are a lot of articles written about the hospice philosophy, hospice care, who is eligible for hospice care, etc. Having been a FairHoPe Hospice patient care volunteer for over 16 years and a paid employee for over 7 years, I know that hospice is serious business. I also know that FairHoPe Hospice celebrates life, and life may involve laughter. Not many articles are written about humor, or laughter, in the hospice setting.

We’ve all heard the overworked phrase, “Laughter is the best medicine.” It may be an overworked phrase, but it is also a well documented truth. Laughter is just as necessary in life as are tears. Humor used correctly does not disrespect the situation nor diminish its gravity. It can allow what is happening to begin to be discussed. Humor may open the door to acceptance and healing.

Humor may be in the form of a funny situation or a joke. Since I could never remember a joke, I began writing them down years ago after I would hear one that I liked. I’ve kept them in a binder.

After I get to know a patient and it seems like the right thing to do (sometimes it is not), I will bring that binder with me when I visit them. I’ll ask the patient and family if they’d mind if I read from my binder. It has never failed when I bring the joke binder we all have a great time. They invariably tell me that they haven’t had a good laugh like that in quite a while.

There was a particular family I visited, as a patient care volunteer, who requested a “groaner” type joke when I arrived for my weekly visit. A groaner-type joke would be for example, “Why did the cowboy buy a Dachshund?” Answer, “Because he wanted to get a ‘long little doggy’” (groan). The patient would then ask me something like, ”Did you hear about the cartoonist who was found dead? Details are sketchy.” Exchanging bad jokes was fun and it made the patient, his wife, and I think of a silly joke before my weekly visit. Yes, the patient and spouse knew he was terminally ill, but we had fun in spite of it.

One of FairHoPe’s chaplains, Karl Hartmann, tells the story of a terminally ill patient who is lying in his bed at home and smells the aroma of cookies wafting through the house.

“Honey,” he calls out, “Those cookies smell so good, may I have one?”

“Certainly not,” she replies, “Those are for your wake!”

FOLTZ AG ENTERPRISES INC.

A study of humor in the hospice setting by Dr. Herth in 1995 found that humor helped to maintain a sense of belonging. It helped patients to relax. It offered a feeling of warmth, lightheartedness, and delight. Humor was a life-enricher and a life enhancer.

FairHoPe Hospice and Palliative Care, Inc helps people to celebrate life. One way to celebrate life is to enjoy the moment, regardless of the circumstance. Laughter is a very effective way to do that. I’m often asked, “How can you work at Fairhope? Isn’t it sad?” It’s hard to believe that not only is it very rewarding to be associated with FairHoPe Hospice and Palliative Care, but sometimes it can also be fun.
