The End of Life is one of those delicate subjects that isn’t talked about enough, and most of us shy away from the conversations we ought to have. I experienced this first-hand, not knowing how to ‘be’ with a family member who was dying, and recognised how much harder the experience was, without being comfortable with those conversations . Identifying a much wider need for end of life support I retrained, and together with Penny Bell, Co-founded Better Endings
