THE HOSPICE HEART

Welcome!

My name is Gabrielle Elise Jimenez and I am a hospice nurse, an end-of-life doula and a conscious dying educator.

I started writing a blog about two years ago because I wanted to share everything I witness at the bedside. Yes, I see a lot of death, but I also see love, culture, faith and life. I meet patients and families that remind me how beautiful and magical life is. It is because of them that I live my life more fiercely, and more fully now, because I truly understand how fragile and precious it is.

I have written three books, and I teach a wonderful class. My intention is to inspire others to do this work, or at the very least feel more comfortable talking about death.

Thank you for stopping by!!
