Life-limiting illnesses can cast a long shadow over the lives they touch. For everyone concerned, everyday can bring physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges that test the boundaries of human endurance. Despite the countless individuals that are affected, conversations around life limiting illness often remain unspoken, shrouded in a mix of fear, uncertainty, and stigma. Hospice Southeast New Brunswick is aware of this challenge and since 2004, has been striving to raise awareness of life-limiting conditions and the supports that are available to individuals in the community.
