Patricia's story
For this year’s Dying Matters Awareness Week, we’re sharing the stories from three people with unique perspectives of dying: a patient with an incurable illness, a bereaved person, and a palliative care doctor.
Patricia is being cared for by North London Hospice, and lives with an incurable illness. She shares her thoughts about dying, as someone who doesn’t know how long she has left to live.
