Ireland’s Biggest Coffee Morning Ambassador and renowned actor Brendan Gleeson gave a powerful interview on Marian Finucane’s RTE Radio 1 show last Saturday about the touching difference hospice care has made in his life.
Speaking to Marian, Brendan said: “It reawakened my faith in humanity. It’s magical the way death is embraced as a part of life. The hospice just embraces death in that way and gives people the finest death possible. And the gift that they allow the people around, families – there’s a beauty about it that is exquisite.
“My mother and my father both ended their lives there [in St Francis Hospice, Raheny] and I’m so grateful for that. I don’t know how to express it properly how a good death is so life-affirming. It’s incredible the gift that it is,” said Brendan.
The Irish actor also praised hospice staff nationwide for the life-changing help they give to patients and their loved ones.
