💙 Marianne marks ten years as a Wirral Hospice volunteer. Her appreciation of hospices began when her husband, Jim, was under the care of St Catherine’s Hospice, Sussex in 2015.
“From the moment he arrived at the hospice Jim was quickly free from pain and felt very peaceful. I was struck by how attentive the hospice staff and volunteers were. Jim’s official first name was William and at hospital people would refer to him as William. From the moment we arrived, the staff at St Catherine’s Hospice knew him, like he was known by everyone, as Jim!
Just like at Wirral Hospice, people were friendly, empathetic, compassionate but, somehow, just ‘normal’, fun even… at the right time. Human, I suppose.”
Marianne, originally from the Wirral, re-settled back up here some years ago and we’ve been very fortunate to have had her support over the last decade.
From being in touch with West End musical performers, to featuring on TV quiz show, Pointless, Marianne has a fascinating back story!
