This conversation invites reflection on what it means to care for someone through illness, who is dying, whether at home, in hospice, or in long-term care. End-of-life caregiving is emotionally complex and often invisible at work. This conversation creates space to acknowledge that reality, share insights, and connect with supportive resources.​
