Caring for people in the last stages of cancer requires more than medical and nursing skills.
It involves accompanying patients and their relatives through fear, anger and mourning to acceptance.
In this moving film shot in St Luke's Hospice, Plymouth, a husband and wife share the faith that sustains them through ravaging illness.
A mother and daughter find a new closeness as they come to terms with a cruelly mishandled diagnosis. Dr Sheila Cassidy , the medical director of St Luke's, explains her approach to the care of terminal cancer.
