After thirty five plus years in business, Michelle walked away from a corporate career in management to care for Paul when he was terminally ill during his last six months.
During this time she found herself juggling the roles of nurse, doctor, advocate, counsellor, wife and mother.
The difficult and personal experience manoeuvring through the health and government departments was frustrating and exhausting and without obvious guidance.

Michelle hopes that by sharing her personal journey with Paul, she will assist others that find the system exasperating and provide support especially to those caring for a loved one who is terminally ill.
Michelle learnt many personal lessons on her journey with Paul and found living in the moment to be her most profound and rewarding lesson. Michelle’s spiritual beliefs and inner knowing provided great comfort during this time.
Michelle continues to show strength and courage when losing a loved one and her determination to help others, inspiring.
