As a palliative home care nurse, I enjoyed this video. I am so “used” to the word palliative - and to me it has an overall positive connotation because I believe so much we help people - that I have unintentionally hurt people by saying it casually. I have never had cancer so have no idea what that experience is, to be told you have it, and what it means. Or to be told I have a condition that is palliative. I’ve also lost 2 dear “young” people in my life to MM so am happy to have found your group ❤️ I pray that palliative care DOES make a positive impact in all our lives 🙏
