A hospice podcast about breaking taboos & igniting conversations.
Death. Dying. Hospice.
These are not easy words to say and they are not words that are brought up in conversation lightly. ellenor is hoping to change that.
With our new podcast ”Don’t Say the Word: A Hospice Podcast About Breaking Taboos & Igniting Conversations” we will take you on a journey through what hospice actually is and what palliative care actually means.
