Your support helps people like Wendy
Wendy stayed at the Hospice for the final time in December 2019. Her sister, Leonore, remembers her last weeks at the Hospice.
"It was difficult but we also had some of our happiest memories at the Hospice.
"There were places like the garden and the family room where we could sit as a family and just be there. We weren't always around the bed and that was important.
"Wendy was always asking for a bath and to have a soak. Everyone gave her a lot of love and the nurses were supportive and considerate to what she wanted and what she needed.
"We were there for her last breath. I feel absolutely blessed to be there and to have that time to say goodbye."
