Welcome to Thursdays@3 our regular series of conversations with people living and working at the end of life.

A real treat today – a face, voice and talent you will be very familiar with, a performer and writer who has occupied treasured space on stage, TV, radio, coffee tables and book shelves – for decades, the one and only Jean Kittson!

What you might not realise is that when it comes to aging, dying, and death – Jean has skin in the game, as a carer for your parents, as the author of a practical guide to having ageing parents, and as the patron of Palliative Care Nurses Australia.

And sadly, through the recent death of her mum and dad – Elaine and Roy, an experience that has left her traumatised and feeling like the system let her family down.
