As a freelance palliative nurse, Pippa brings a particular focus on presence and care to the threshold of death for those who are dying as well as for those supporting their care both before, during and beyond death. In this interview, she relates the experiences that inspired her to train as a nurse when she was in her 40s so that she could work in this field. She talks about her focus on presence and attention to the subtle changes occurring for the dying and for those who support them. Pippa describes the love, warmth and transformation as well as the pain, dependence and vulnerability which are part of the transition of death.
