Supporting someone in Palliative (End of Life) Care

Supporting someone in Palliative or End of Life Care

An End of Life or Palliative Carer is someone who lovingly supports a cherished person who is receiving care focused on comfort, peace and dignity, rather than curing illness. This care is often given when their loved one is approaching the final stages of life.  

Caring for someone who is at the end of their life can be very demanding and draining. You may have strong emotions of love, sadness, anger and resentment. These emotions do not mean you care any less, they are a natural response to a very difficult and heart heavy situation.
