What People Say

“It was so emotive, I felt privileged to listen to Sarah share her story with us. I now know that palliative care doesn’t necessarily mean that someone is going to die within a year or so. I also realised it’s okay to make mistakes, perhaps say the wrong thing at the wrong time, that’s how we learn.”
