No. Despite what most people think, a children's hospice isn’t simply a place where children go to die – far from it, although for some children that will, sadly, be the outcome. But the myth still persists, so some people are horrified if a hospice is suggested to them. Please let us reassure you: we’re here to provide a huge range of
support to any family where a child has a life-shortening condition. But ‘shorter’ can mean well into adulthood, so we regularly help young people transition over to an adult hospice.
There are, sadly, times when the end of a child’s life approaches all too soon. But what we
can do is give you support, practical help, gentle kindness, and above all more control over your situation.
