“Dying has taught me so much more about living than anything else.” Our colleague and friend, Laura has written an incredibly powerful piece, reflecting on how facing death has taught her profound lessons about life. Laura is 44 years old and is living with terminal colon cancer. While St Christopher’s Hospice is supporting her through the last weeks of her life, she is determined to share her experience to encourage others to talk about death and dying and to look at it as an opportunity.
