Are you #InAGoodPlace to die? It’s not a question we often ask, this week is @DyingMatters which aims to open up those conversations. Here at Havens Hospices, we’re privileged that palliative care campaigner @LucyAlexandria has written a blog about her experience of Fair Havens

. @LucyAlexandria said, “As someone who knows & works closely around palliative care, & who has accessed palliative and hospice care for over a decade, I didn’t think there was much about my perspective that could be changed. However, my admission to Fair Havens did just that."

. @LucyAlexandria, "In all the time I have known I have a life-limiting condition, dying at home has been my ultimate goal. In my head, if I didn’t achieve a death at home, then I would have failed – failed myself, and failed my family." #DMAW21 #InAGoodPlace

“Being in the hospice and receiving the fantastic care from the Fair Havens team – and witnessing the speed at which medication can be altered or added in to control symptoms – has transformed the way I view it." - @LucyAlexandria #DMAW21 #InAGoodPlace

"I hope this blog has shown the transformative experiences and benefits to patients and families of hospice care and how it is about so much more than just death and dying." - @LucyAlexandria
