Palliative Music: Bringing the comfort and beauty of music to the critically ill

As we start a month devoted to love, I wanted to introduce you to a new service that shows a special measure of love to those who are at a most weak and vulnerable time of their lives.

After some specialized training, student and talented musician, Elaine Hild, has established PalliativeMusic.org. What is palliative music?

Palliative music is patient-centered music. A palliative musician sits at the bedside, carefully attending to the patient as she plays, in order to create music that promotes relaxation and rest.

Have a look at www.PalliativeMusic.org to learn more about Elaine and the musical services she offers. If you have a friend or loved one who would appreciate a visit, fill out the contact form on her page so she can reach out to you.
