Trinity Oaks is humbled to have the honor of hosting people afflicted with terminal illness on “Texas Dream Trips,” which we hope fulfill their last outdoor-based wish.
It is a blessing to bring joy to a person battling life-threatening illnesses. Through Texas Dream Trips, we create an outdoor experience the entire family will share forever and another reason for those battling life-threatening or terminal conditions to fight a bit harder and hopefully beat the illness.
For people battling life-threatening or terminal illnesses, the results of nature programming are even more dramatic. According to the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania, fulfilling the dreams of children battling life-threatening or terminal illnesses and connecting them with nature helps not only ease their psychological stress but also eases the burden on all of their families, helping them cope with their loss in a meaningful way.
Top medical caregivers of sick children identify that psychosocial needs that must be met include:
- Time to be a child, i.e., engaging in age-appropriate activities for children
- spiritual needs, including expressing gratitude for nature, God, or whatever other culturally or family-appropriate channel
- and wish fulfillment when possible.
Addressing these needs can also significantly help families cope with the imminent loss of their loved one and assist the grieving process.
Anyone battling a life-threatening illness.
