Marie reflects on her husband’s experience with palliative and end-of-life care and his decision to die at home.
"We talked about palliative care in the beginning but Doug did not like the word. He thought he did not need it yet. He imagined it was only for the old and dying and that he was not there yet. My sister [an oncology nurse] helped us understand that palliative care was really so much more than that. It was about supporting us to live the best possible way until the end.”
