My granny died with dignity

"My granny died with dignity"

About: Antrim/Ballymena / Community Specialist Palliative Care Team Causeway / Community Specialist Palliative Care Team

(as a relative),

My grandmother took very unwell on New Year’s Eve. When we rang the doctor on call we were told a Marie Curie nurse would come out and assess her.

The Marie Curie nurse arrived at 11:30pm and was nothing but amazing, so supportive and compassionate. My granny passed away at 11:59pm and the nurse stayed with us for a few hours to comfort us and made the process so much easier.

The nurse went above and beyond her job role in comforting us as a family and ensuring my granny died with dignity which was our one wish.
