hi guys - I am a hospice RN and just wanted to say I love your podcast! You normalize so many of the feelings I had when I worked inpatient progressive care about 15 years back. It’s so refreshing to hear others stories and have this acceptance and normalization of the hard work caregivers do. Thank you! - Jen
