Hospice is about life

Great conversation with Lida Moniava

The guest of the episode is Lida Moniava, founder of the House with a Lighthouse children's hospice. We talked about life with a serious illness, about children who grow up contrary to predictions, about parents who burn out, and about people who choose to help every day.

We talk about why hospice is not about death, but about life. How palliative care works in Russia. Why it's important for children to stay home and for families not to be alone. How to talk to children about death without horror and pathos. And what does it really mean to be there when “there is no cure.”
