Poole hospice supporter creates emotional video

Both of Tiff Wilson’s parents died at Forest Holme Hospice. To recognise the support she received, she has created a life story video celebrating family, resilience and volunteering.

Tiff is a volunteer at the Poole-based hospice. She worked with Christchurch-based filmmaker Emma Trim, founder of Chapters, to create the video, which also reflects on her experience of living with disability and the support of her husband Dave.

Tiff said: “When my parents were both in Forest Holme, I witnessed care I had never seen before. It was kind, compassionate and they always knew what was needed.

“I could never repay the care that was given, so I thought how could I give back and honour them both. My favourite day is Friday when I volunteer and I walk in with a smile.

“Making my Chapters video with Emma was such a joyful experience, and the finished video is such a precious gift. My loved ones can see me, hear my voice and reconnect with memories we shared together. What a beautiful thing to leave behind, a lasting record of your life, your story and the moments that matter most.”
