 American Pain Society – July/August 2000 - Total Pain: The Work of Cicely Saunders and the Hospice Movement
Crucially, Cicely Saunders’ writings at this time treated the relief of pain as a most vital component in confronting the issue of euthanasia; for pain in the final stages of cancer had attracted the imagination of the public and had become a regular theme in public debate (Saunders, 1970b).
Saunders pointed out that, “The use of the word ‘pain’ was a deliberate attempt to stimulate students and others to look at the various facets of a dying patient’s distress, beyond the requirement for analgesics to the need for human understanding and practical social help” (Saunders, 1978a).
Cicely Saunders recognized that the achievement of such results, however, can occasion the phenomenon of staff pain, resulting from prolonged exposure to the suffering of patients and families who are facing death.

Dame Cicely’s vision began with a chance encounter, in 1948, with David Tasma, a Polish man who had escaped from the Warsaw Ghetto and was dying of cancer in the hospital where Saunders was serving as a nurse and medical social worker.
Saunders devoted her entire life to the effort to improve end-of-life care (she did not marry until the age of 67).
When asked once how she herself hoped to die, Dame Cicely said that she would prefer to know that she was dying, so that she could put her affairs in order, consider her spiritual obligations, and have time to reflect on her life.

 Guardian | Dame Cicely Saunders
Saunders was to emerge as a strong character, more interested in other people's problems than her own self-pity.
In the late 1940s, Saunders began working part-time at St Luke's Home for the Dying Poor in Bayswater, and it was partly this which, in 1951, led her to begin study at St Thomas's to be a doctor.
There was always, Saunders would emphasise, so much more to be done, and she did it, as its medical director from 1967, and then, from 1985, as its chairman, a post she occupied until 2000, when she became president.

 Discovery Institute - Bioethics - Articles/News - Dame Cecily Saunders
As Saunders and Tasma spoke of his impending death, she began to comprehend "what he needed--and what all of the other dying patients and their families needed." Saunders had an epiphany.
Saunders work was a "personal calling, underpinned by a powerful religious commitment," wrote David Clark, an English medical school professor of palliative care and Saunders's biographer, to whom she has entrusted the organization of her archives.
Saunders' initial idea was for St. Christopher's hospice to be a "sequestered religious community solely concerned with caring for the dying." But the idea soon expanded from a strictly religious vision into a broader secular application, in Clark's words, a "full-blown medical project acting in the world."

 International Observatory on End of Life Care - A Tribute to Dame Cicely Saunders
Cicely was definitely ‘a wounded physician’, who was thus enabled to sympathise with and support the patients and families who came under her care.
Cicely disparaged ‘tender loving care’; she championed ‘efficient loving care’ in which attention to detail is the constant watchword.
May it please God to allow Cicely’s mantle to fall on us collectively as we honour her as the founder of the modern hospice, as the founder of palliative care – and also as the one who was found by hospice.

 -- Data Supplement - Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern hospice movement, dies -- BMJ   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Cicely Saunders founded the first modern hospice and, more than anybody else, was responsible for establishing the discipline and the culture of palliative care.
Cicely Saunders became, and perhaps always was, a grande dame and natural leader, and established a reputation in the national consciousness almost on a par with that of Florence Nightingale.
Saunders sought closer contact with patients and asked her orthopaedic surgeon if she might work as a night nurse, which would put less strain on her back, since most of the lifting work is done by day staff.

Cicely Saunders was born in 1918 in North London and was educated at Roedean and Oxford but abandoned her university course to train as a nurse.
Cicely Saunders set out to provide true holistic care encompassing physical, psychological, spiritual and social problems, but importantly from the outset she was determined to evaluate the care that was delivered.
Saunders would not have described herself as a great researcher and she was a clinician rather than an academic.

 BBC NEWS | UK | Obituary: Dame Cicely Saunders
Cicely Mary Strode Saunders was born on 22 June 1918.
Dame Cicely, who was also guided by her Christian faith and strongly opposed euthanasia, had a clear view of the role of hospices.
Her belief that dying is a phenomenon "as natural as being born," was at the heart of a philosophy that sees death as a process that should be life-affirming and free of pain.

 Reporter: Cicely Saunders
Saunders gave the fall's second Beatty Memorial Lecture last week on "Lessons in Living From the Dying." She also received an honorary degree at convocation last Thursday.
In her lecture, Saunders told of being inspired by a patient, David Tasma, whom she met in 1948 when he was hospitalized with an inoperable cancer and she, a former nurse, was working as a medical social worker.
Saunders said she has always been against euthanasia precisely because it makes vulnerable people feel they are a burden and they ought to opt out.

 Cicely Saunders, la mujer que transformó el cuidado de los moribundos
Dame Cicely nunca dejó de trabajar, aunque abandonó su participación activa en St Chistopher's en 1985.
Desde el punto de vista médico, Cicely Saunders seguramente será recordada por un método relativamente novedoso para aliviar el dolor: administrar sedación continua para dejar al paciente en una situación estable en la que esté consciente y tenga una razonable calidad de vida, en vez de una sedación intermitente ante cada aumento del dolor.
Pero a la larga será la voz suave y más humana de Dame Cicely Saunders quien ayudará a muchos a morir en paz: "Importas porque eres tú, e importas hasta el último momento de tu vida".

 Dame Cicely Saunders, OM | Obituaries | News | Telegraph
Cicely Saunders first had the idea of creating a modern hospice in 1948, when she was working as a lady almoner (medical social worker) at St Thomas's Hospital in London.
Cicely Saunders fell deeply in love and, when he died, he left her all he had - £500 - and told her: "I'll be a window in your home." "It was as though God was tapping me on the shoulder and telling me 'You've got to get on with it'," she recalled.
Carrying Tasma's memory with her, Cicely Saunders became a physician and went on to found St Christopher's Hospice, where she hoped to "help the dying to live until they die and their families to live on".
