Delia Chiaramonte, M.D., Integrative Palliative Care Physician
I’m Dr. Delia Chiaramonte.
I’ve cared for thousands of patients and families as they faced serious illness. I've guided them through the conversations that no one ever wants to have. I’ve seen what helps families stay connected and strong during serious illness, and I’ve seen what breaks them apart. I’ve guided thousands of families through decisions, fears, exhaustion, conflict, love, tenderness, and the challenges of living with uncertainty.
I’ve taught clinicians across the country how to communicate honestly, how to reduce suffering, and how to protect their own well-being while caring deeply for others.
And I’ve lived this in my own family. I know what it feels like to love someone who is ill, to keep going when you feel completely depleted, and to carry more than you think you can. I also know how important it is to care for YOU so you can continue to show up for your loved one without losing yourself
Over the years, I’ve developed a practical and humanistic approach that helps caregivers give great care to their loved ones and while they also care for themselves.
I don't believe that you need to sacrifice you to show up for them.
This is the foundation of:
- My book on navigating illness without losing yourself
- My podcast, where I talk openly about the parts of caregiving that people usually don't mention
- My work with caregivers and clinicians, online and in person
My approach is:
- Clear and straightforward
- Evidence-informed and clinically grounded
- Emotionally realistic (no forced positivity)
- Respectful of your autonomy, capacity, and limits
No advice that assumes you have more time, energy, or emotional space than you do.
We deal with the real situation you’re in, and how you can get through it without abandoning yourself.
Caring for people with serious illness is soul work.
You can care whole-heartedly for your loved ones, and also
care whole-heartedly for yourself.

"I cannot thank Dr. Chiarmonte enough for this amazing resource for those of us in the healthcare professions... As a hospice nurse, I understood burn-out but not my own misguided mindset when it came to my own journey with palliative care in my family... In one chapter, I literally felt my entire heart, mind and being shift from fear, anger and frustration, to love, compassion and understanding of those dealing with palliative life choices. I am grateful beyond words to feel Delia speaking directly to me through these pages to validate my heart and mind during this most challenging time! A must for families enduring these difficult situations." - Dawn M.
