Jana Sieberová: The Love That Transcends Us

Jana Sieberová is a nurse who established home hospice care in Hořice, East Bohemia in 2009. She also lectures on hospice care to health professionals, students and the general public in Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia. In the book Láska, která nás přesahuje (The Love that Transcends Us), most space is given to bereaved family members who have chosen to care for a ailing relative at home. When illness enters a life, it turns it upside down. It brings worry, physical and mental fatigue, and endless questions. But also a commitment to compassion, belonging, rediscovered love, forgiveness, and also – which may seem strange – a sense of happiness. How does one find joy in the presence of illness and death? And what is the love that transcends us all? Aleš Palán will host the talk with Jana Sieberová.
