When Community Hospice of Northeast Florida asked me to interview employees, volunteers and patients to create videos for its new website I worried about the emotional impact talking about death and dying in such depth might have on me.

For three days I listened to the stories of employees whose loved ones had received the compassionate care that enabled them to live their last days with grace or the experiences of families who received so much support and comfort in caring for their children with life-limiting conditions.

Instead of sadness, the commitment of so many people to improve the quality of life for patients and families dealing with advanced illness inspired me.

I not only gained great insight into a subject that most of us shy away from, but I also realized that Hospice is not a place where people go to die but rather one which helps people live with beauty and dignity.
