Since attending my local hospice once a week my quality of life has improved so much. I have received so much love and support from fellow patients, volunteers, staff and nurses. My choices surrounding treatment are fully respected and I no longer feel judged for my decisions. My only regret is I didn’t make the decision to attend sooner as it is nothing like I imagined it would be and I find it to be a life enhancing experience and it has reduced my stress levels considerably. I would encourage anyone like me who has a poor prognosis to consider using their local hospice, it has so much more to offer than just end of life care.

Dear Roobarb, I think you have encapsulated really well the philosophy of the hospice movement, it’s essentially holistic care and that includes the whole family. I wish you well on your trial and thank you so much for your contribution to this important topic.

Dear Ellie, I was very moved by your testimony of your experiences with the hospice, this is exactly what I want for myself and my husband, it just confirms to me I am taking the right approach and strengthens my resolve to spread the good news of what the hospice has to offer to anyone who feels they need support.
