In 2021, Antoni and Ania’s father, François, was diagnosed with incurable cancer. He and his wife, Monika, searched for a safe, peaceful place to live out their final days in dignity. That’s what they found on their first visit to Maison St-Raphaël.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/vP1M-iC6Xag”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_blockquote style=”line-style” font_family=”none”]

François’ admission at Maison St-Raphaël
Admission to palliative care can be an emotionally charged experience, both for the person living with the disease and for their loved ones. But for François, Monika, Antoni and Ania, Maison St‑Raphaël was a comforting place to spend their last days together.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_blockquote style=”line-style” font_family=”none”]

Wings to See Dad in Heaven
The bereavement process is probably one of the most difficult experiences to go through. Imagine what this can mean for children. After François’ death, the entire family received bereavement services, including art therapy, which was particularly beneficial for young Ania.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/aSj0kEMa4KE”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_blockquote style=”line-style” font_family=”none”]
