Tune in to my conversation with Christy Wright, RN, BSN and former Certified Hospice Palliative Care Nurse as we talk about End of Life issues.  According to a source that Christy shared with me, 90% of people surveyed say they think it’s very important to talk to their family about end of life care.  But only 27% have actually done so.  In Part 1 of my interview, Christy shares with us the role of hospice and palliative care.  She also reveals the various ways that people tend to face or deny the end of the lives, and her theories as to why people struggle with this natural part of our life cycle that is shared by all of us.  To quote Christy, “The body is made for the end of life, just as it’s made to be born.  The question is, how do we support these processes?”
