In this interview we dive straight into looking at what death looks like in the last 4 weeks of our lives. Everyone is different of course, we all die from a variety of illnesses and conditions but there are many commonalities to be seen.
These can be seen as markers if you like of knowing that someone is getting closer to the their end of life.
I am privileged enough to be joined by Becky Rix Clinical Nurse Specialist at St Helena Hospice to explore what the last few weeks mostly look like and to discuss some of the issues around that.
Before we kick off though I just want to say that if you are adversely affected by anything you hear there are bereavement support centres around the world and all you have to do is type grief counselling into your search engine and I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get help quite quickly. In the UK there are many such avenues and probably the most well know here is Cruse bereavement support.
There's a Facebook page called Everything End of life and there will be a Website coming.
For those interested in what Palliative care looks like at home there is "The Last Kiss" (Not a Romance)
