I understand the need to talk about serious illness, vulnerability and our mortality, and I know too this may be confronting and challenging and can leave some people questioning or searching for answers. In my work I have seen that a vast range of feelings and emotions arise at the end of life. I have met people who feel alone or frightened, some who are challenged by decisions to be made and others who are energised to attend to unfinished life tasks. I have also witnessed these palliative conversations as leading to moments of realisation, inner calm and true love and joy.
