HAMISH FITZSIMMONS: How do you and your colleagues deal with what you do every day?
PAULINA SCULLI: It’s a common question that people ask me.
And I often say that I feel that I have the heart to do it. That I let myself feel the grief and that I don’t shy away from that grief.
And I let myself be heartbroken ’cause I’ve seen a lot of people die and a lot of really difficult situations, and I let them touch me. And because I let those situations actually touch my heart, I feel that I journey with people and move through with them and I just feel at the end of it, I feel that I’ve accomplished something in that I’ve been able to support people through a difficult process.
Not enough people get the chance to have this care at home, but it can be helpful if they can. It is a difficult thing to provide, but very rewarding. God bless them.
