Make content about: Annette is making memories with Denis
Annette spent years struggling alone to care for Denis. Hospice support gave them the guidance to plan ahead and make memories together.
This story
Together for over fifty years, Annette and Denis faced repeated hospital admissions and uncertainty after Denis developed progressive supranuclear palsy. Even with forty years of nursing experience, caring for him at home left Annette feeling isolated. A hospice nurse helped Denis complete an advance care plan and arranged practical support, lifting an emotional weight and letting them focus on making memories.
