Hospice care makes it possible for families to spend precious time together and show their love for one another in ways that matter most to them.

That might be about having time just to sit and hold their loved one’s hand, or creating memories with an unforgettable experience.

This winter, we're sharing the story of Marie, who lost her brothers Dan and Carl to rare leukaemia within just three months.

Dan and Carl's story

Dan and Carl had very different experiences of their illness – Carl with a stem cell match, Dan without. But when treatment options ended for them both, there was only one place they wanted to be: at home.

Marie shares their story and explains how, with hospice support, that was made possible for both of them.
