“Reclaiming death as a community experience. It’s a normal experience” is the mission motivating Trish Fleming, Community Engagement Lead at Hospice West Auckland.
She tells host, funeral celebrant, Timothy Giles, death is happening everywhere in our community; 85% of the time hospice care is in people’s chosen environments, mostly at home. With a 50/50 split of patients are under and over 65.
Trish wants you to engage with hospice and death “Get curious” she says “walk into your local hospice and say ‘hi’”. Start easily and listen to Trish share stories of the work she loves, building a caring, death-capable community.
