Care in the Last Days of Life

This booklet contains information to help you to understand what usually happens and the care we give when someone is believed to be in the last days and hours of life. Nothing can take away the feelings of grief, but having information may help you cope at this anxious time.

Everyone will want and need different amounts of information and we are mindful that not all the information will be relevant to your situation or wanted by you at this time.
If you find the information too upsetting or overwhelming at this time or you would prefer then please speak to ward staff regarding any questions you may have instead.
