Garbes' mother worked as a hospice nurse for most of her career in America. The job involved driving to people's homes to care for them during the last stages of life. Death was imminent by the time she met her patients. She administered medications, bathed them, drew blood, communicated with doctors rotated bodies to relieve bedsores, and sat with loved ones. She often worked 13-hours days and grew close to the families.
