This is the best explanation of it. In America because we have hospice and palliative care people often get confused to what that means. I love the fact that Palliative care doesn’t just deal with body that seems impersonal no one wants to be treated like a number some want to still see compassion at the end a different type of care so this is be peaceful!

Palliative care is only as good as the staff that implement it. Less than 2 weeks ago my mother died in a hospital in Western Australia after 5 days of pain, fear and immense suffering. The system failed her and I may never recover from the trauma of witnessing her totally avoidable, sustained and painful death.

For a lot of people dying is a long and slow, frustrating and very sad process. We should open our hearts and practice a bit more compassion for people on this journey because we all have to face this journey one day too! 💗

This video might have been more convincing or it not that everyone that was spoken to was in a hospital and then at the end the woman says used to be called hospice.
