Dear Diary, this is a DEEP DOVE on HOSPICE CARE

In this weeks DOVE-entry Jakob talked to Karin. A long time volunteer and later coordinator for the Styrian Hospice Care and mobile Palliative teams. It was an amazing conversation about the relationship our (Western) society has to death and dying today, all the wisdom that she gained from her experience in accompanying people during their last steps in this life and so much more.

For the DEEP DOVE, Jakob decided to focus mostly on those aspects as well as reflecting on ones own mortality - something that Karin suggests everyone should to to grow as a person. Jakob also touches on the phases of grief and why that model is said to be not accurate and the role of LOVE in all of this.
