Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care
💜 During Hospice Care Week, Olivia shares how Rennie Grove Peace supported her mum, Amanda, and their family during the final weeks of her life.
Amanda was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2024 and was cared for by Rennie Grove Peace in the weeks before she died in June 2025.
"We wouldn't have coped without the support of the Rennie Grove Peace nurses," says Olivia.
After Amanda came home from hospital, the hospice team helped manage her pain, supported the family through difficult moments and were always there when they needed advice or reassurance.
"Every time we called, they were with us, reassuring us, reassuring mum and helping us with whatever we needed. They never made anything seem like too much trouble and made everything more bearable."
When Amanda died, a nurse came to support the family and guide them through what to do next.
Olivia's story is a powerful reminder that hospice care is about supporting the whole family, providing comfort, compassion and expert care when it's needed most.
