Anel Alexander Instagram – It takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to help a life to end. Allow me over the next few weeks to thank my village. In 1983 James went to Sungardens Nursery. 40 years later he would spend his last months at @sungardens_hospice in Pretoria. James called the hospice
‘The Portal to Heaven’. It truly takes a bunch of angels to do what these Drs and nurses and staff do on a daily basis. Their compassion, skill, knowledge about palliative care and true empathy made an unbearable process bearable. Not only did they put up with James’ antics, but they (physically) held our hands on the darkest days. They didn’t just take care of James, they loved him, and for that I (and our families) will always be grateful. If you’re looking for a worthy cause, why not consider making a donation to The Sungardens Hospice, ABSA Bank, Savings Account, Nr 3498149692, Bank Code: 630193, Reference: James Alexander.
 
When James was still lucid he would entertain the staff on his way to his daily shower. I was often instructed to bring all sorts of paraphernalia. He never lost his sense of humour amongst all the pain and suffering. It was truly a masterclass in finding the joy amongst the sorrow. | Posted on 15/May/2023 22:38:38
