Thurs@3 S2E8 – Embracing life and death: Josphine's Journey from Kenya to Canberra

Thursdays@3

Welcome to Thursdays@3 our regular series of conversations with people living and working at the end of life. 

Earlier this year, Josphine Lokai graduated as a Registered Nurse from the University of Canberra. She currently works at Clare Holland House, a Specialist Palliative Care Service based in Canberra. 

She moved to Australia from Kenya in 2017 with a real fire in her heart and soul following the death of her eldest son Arnold a decade ago. 

Her graduation in April this year was a real milestone in her life, but as you are about to discover, Josphine has other dreams to achieve. 

Press play to share in her amazing story of life and death. 

Listen to the episode on Spotify.

You will find advice, tools, and support with ‘matters of life and death’ at the Palliative Care Australia website where you can also make a donation to support our work.
