EPISODE 4: Dame Cicely Saunders

**Trigger Warning** This episodes discusses end of life, death and grief. 

Stories are the essential building block of empathy and human connection.

Since the beginning of time, storytelling has been used to connect, engage, inspire, heal and create a brighter future. 

We are convinced that it is stories that change our world. We have seen hearts change and opinions soften when real people and real stories are heard. 

Beth received a church prize book called "Ten Girls that Changed the World" when she was a child and it is this book that inspired this all-new series from At the Table Podcast by Faversham Salvation Army.  

You may know the stories of Christians like Martin Luther King jr, Florence Nightingale and maybe that of the Salvation Army's founders William & Catherine Booth but this series, we are hearing the stories that changed the world from people you may not have heard of.

Continuing through this series, we are looking at a pioneer and founder of a really important part of care and medicine; Dame Cecily Saunders. Dame Cecily was a great example of starting something that was so important for someone at the end of their life but also families as they deal with grief. This episode was a time for us personally to reflect and thank the wonderful palliative nurses who took care of us and Jon's father who passed away in 2021 with Leukaemia. We thank one of our listeners for sharing this person with us!
