Excellent piece. As @sarahmalik450 of @AGoodDeath says ‘For nurses, it’s about having those conversations, not fearing that they’re getting it wrong. Too often people fear they will say the wrong thing so they don’t say anything.'
‘Everyone thinks that someone else is having the conversation, which means that nobody is’ - why it's vital to speak honestly about an individual's end of life care rcni.com/nursing-standard/fe…

Today we said goodbye to a special girl. She was only 6 years old. 💫 A reminder not to worry about the small stuff, cause it is just that - small stuff. What really matters in life are your loved ones and good health - never to be taken for granted 💛#ChildhoodCancer #DIPG
