Karen Murphy, who is President of the Association of Hospice and Palliative Care Chaplains and serves as the Chaplain and Spiritual Lead at Weston Hospicecare, commends the awareness raising work of the Hospice UK led movement, Dying Matters.
“Dying Matters Week is an opportunity to be thankful for spiritual care teams around the country who have been part of wider teams in palliative care, supporting staff as well as patients and their families.”

Karen goes on to say that there have been many resources published during this past year to reflect on the experience but she highly commends to us all the latest book by Tom Gordon. ‘Whispers of Wisdom’ is just published by Wild Goose Press and is an excellent resources for anyone working in spiritual and bereavement care.
