Aren’t Hospices sad places?
You’d be surprised! It is always sad when someone dies, of course, but hospice care is about living life as fully as possible right to the end. So St Leonard’s, like all hospices, is a place of light and colour, where you’ll hear people laughing as well as crying, smiling as well as looking sad – just as you will anywhere else. It’s as normal as possible, while we look after very ill people and their families.
