This Christmas, Marie Curie hospices will be a hive of activity, with dedicated staff working hard to make sure those living with a terminal illness and their families are cared for throughout the festive period.
Nurses like Ward Sister, Deirdre MacStoker and Healthcare Assistant, Dáire Lawlor will be among those providing invaluable care and support for people facing a terminal illness and their loved ones.
Both of them spoke to Belfast Live about why offering care and support through a terminal illness is so important over the festive season.
