Summary
In this episode of the Care Podcast, I explore the often-avoided topic of end of life care through a deeply personal lens. I share my transformative experience with my uncle, who faced terminal cancer with dignity and acceptance.
The conversation emphasises the importance of quality over quantity in end of life care, the need for open communication, and the role of compassionate support for both the dying and their families.
I advocates for more discussions about death to reduce fear and promote understanding, ultimately highlighting the profound impact of care during life's final moments.
