Hospice - Josephine Gunnee spent her final days in St Helena Hospice HAVING conversations about dying, death and bereavement are be no means easy - but they are ever so important. This is the message from two sisters who know first-hand the importance of having conversations about end of life and making choices matter, as they did with their mum Josephine Gunnee.
