Before going into St Christopher’s Hospice I felt really nervous, not really knowing what to expect. From our talks about the project in class I understood that there is a very upfront and revealed atmosphere in the hospice that doesn’t really hide anything from you or shield you from the issues that are dealt with there. When we first entered the hospice the first thing that struck me was nothing to do with death or life leading up to it, it was just the beauty of the surroundings and the calm mood. It felt really peaceful and welcoming. We then had a tour of the hospice. It felt really comforting to see all of the art work done by patients and to learn that art is a well explored subject in the hospice. We wouldn’t be doing anything that the patients wouldn’t be accustomed to. We didn’t meet any of the patients in the first visit, I think once we do meet some the place will seem more real. I still feel anxious to meet some of the patients, but exited to learn about their lives.
