Life cycle, Suffering, Death, End of lifeAbstract
Caring for a patient at the end of life involves, in addition to a concern with physical suffering, care for other aspects of suffering, such as social, family, emotional and spiritual. As we do with childbirth preparation and parenting courses, isn't it equally important to train and support people at the end of their lives and who takes care of them?
