Choosing end of life nursing

The memoir explores the author's transformative journey from acute care nursing to palliative care, driven by personal loss and a desire for deeper patient connection. After migrating to Australia post-World War II and experiencing her mother's death from cancer in a hospice, the author reflects on her fifty-year nursing career, particularly the last twenty dedicated to comforting terminally ill patients. Her story delves into the emotional challenges and profound rewards of providing compassionate care during life's final moments.
