  • How to have a good death

    Marie has a fantastic way of explaining end of life in a way everyone can understand. I’ve been a home hospice nurse for many years and she gives excellent advice and has very knowledgeable guests from the whole hospice team. I wish everyone could hear about hospice before they need it. We all eventually deal with end of life.
