In this series I’m talking to the bereaved, the dying and the people who care for them and as we explore the work of Hospice we are also exploring the process of death while lifting the veil from a subject that is seldom addressed in a open and forthright manner. In a profound interview Grief Counsellor and Family Services Team Leader Charmaine Smit talks about grief, forgiveness, the recent loss of her husband Pete and the importance of loving with intent. Impressed with the way Hospice cared for his late sister Susan, Chris Kaua got involved as a volunteer and later became a full-time employee. Chris talks about his work as Facilities and Equipment Team Leader and the joy of caring for others.
