Creating a compassionate environment in which your elderly loved one can process the last days of their life is an essential component of end of life care. Most importantly, you will need to honour their wishes around the final chapter, offer pain relief and nurture your loved ones quality of life on your final days together.
We all hope for a peaceful end to a life well-lived. Although it may be a difficult topic to raise, respecting your loved one’s wishes at the end of life is one of the greatest gifts you can offer them. Although it may be uncomfortable, it’s best to raise the topic sooner rather than later to ensure that your mom, dad or partner has the presence of mind to give you the information you need to make them comfortable as they near the end.
