About palliative care:
Palliative care helps those with an illness that cannot be cured by managing symptoms as well as providing emotional and spiritual support.
How to care:
When someone is very ill at home, they need help and support to manage.
Groups with specific needs:
Death is a reality of life, but the circumstances can vary greatly as different groups have different needs.
At the end:
Many people have little or no prior experience of dying and death. As much as possible, people like to have choice at the end of life.
Bereavement, Grief and Loss:
Even when it is expected, death can be a shock. Grief and loss can be felt in many ways.
