Palliative

My friend Beth has the most amazing job. She's a Palliative Nurse.
That means she helps people die. She makes them comfortable, surrounds them with the things and people they love, gets them whatever food they like to eat, keeps them company when they are lonely, and provides them with comfort and love.
I think everyone should have a Palliative nurse. But all the time. Not just when they are dying.
I think dear friends are like Palliative nurses. They help you transition through tough times with ease and grace.
They surround you with the people and things you love so that when your old self dies, your new self will be filled with the happy.
