Losing a loved one can be a life-altering experience, and for Beth, a community palliative care specialist nurse, it was the catalyst that sparked her commitment to palliative care.

Beth invites us into her world, sharing moving stories from her transition from working in a hospice to becoming a community link nurse where she witnesses the profound peace that open conversations and thoughtful planning can bring to patients and their families during life's most challenging moments.
