Stories from a home for terminally ill children

To honor and celebrate young lives cut short, Kathy Hull founded the first freestanding pediatric palliative care facility in the United States, the George Mark Children's House. Its mission: to give terminally ill children and their families a peaceful place to say goodbye. She shares stories brimming with wisdom, joy, imagination and heartbreaking loss.

A peaceful, nurturing environment can transform the experience of terminally ill children and their families. At a pediatric hospice, children like Crystal and Lars found comfort, laughter, and moments of genuine happiness, even in their final days. While most American children die in hospitals surrounded by machines, specialized care facilities offer a gentle alternative. These centers focus on quality of life, helping families cherish every precious moment together.
