It is a wonderful thing Lizzie to have a blog explaining how important the last stages of life are, how others impact us in our last months and how strong and brave the human spirit can be. It is indeed the simple things shared with our loved ones that matter the most. i love your blog It is very much a reflection of your loving self.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments Susan. I really enjoyed writing the blog, although it was quite hard at times. It gives me a lot of satisfaction to know people are thinking about palliative care as it tends to be an area that gets forgotten or people don't want to talk about.
