“Unfortunately, [at] some part in all of our lives, we have to question our own mortality or we lose a loved one, so this podcast is for everybody. The more patients and families open up around the subject, that often makes bereavement, death and dying somewhat easier. If there's a fear around accessing care, certainly hospice care, it can have a negative impact on how they access the care, so it's really important that we remove that fear around death and dying.”
