Face taut from years of Botox and denial. Always cheerful because if she isn’t then she would have to acknowledge something is wrong. Her younger brother is dying and she is the self-selected chaperone her niece and nephew. So desperately need to navigate this time of crisis.

Dad is dying. These are his last days. On end-of-life medication and no longer responsive. Except when he appears in Siobhan’s mind. Then he is spiteful, unforgiving, cruel.

Quiet confidence and kind eyes. He’s a listener but don’t mistake his silence for complacency. Is astute and assertive when the moment calls for it. Siobhan’s younger brother and he is also in the midst of losing his father.

A warm aura, a gentle presence. A breath of fresh air. The Nurse goes into many homes for hospice care and is constantly witnessing death. Takes the job of helping families with this transition very seriously.
