Whenever I see a patient, whether they were just recently diagnosed, are weeks or months into their process, or have a few short hours until last breaths are taken, I am reminded every single time what a true honor it is to care for someone who is nearing the end of their life. The moments I get to spend with a patient and family are personal for me and while it is my job and I am paid to do this work it has never felt like “work” to me. I think that people, like myself, who provide end of life care, feel that it is a calling. For myself, I believe this to be true.
