In this powerful and deeply honest film, Karen shares her story of living with terminal cancer, from the shock of diagnosis to finding ways to live fully, meaningfully, and with hope.
Karen talks openly about the physical and emotional challenges of living with incurable cancer, the uncertainty that comes with ongoing scans and treatment, and how her life has changed since diagnosis. She reflects on learning to slow down, finding joy in new ways, and taking every opportunity to make each day count.
She also speaks movingly about the support she has received from Tapping House, challenging common misconceptions about hospice care and describing it as a place of life, joy, connection, and possibility. From breathlessness management and wellbeing in nature, to creative activities and emotional support, Karen explains how hospice care has helped her live well, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.
Above all, Karen’s story is a message of encouragement to others facing a life-limiting diagnosis: that living well is possible, that asking for help matters, and that end of life is not about dying, but about living.
