END OF LIFE CARE
In the final stages of a life-limiting illness, it can become evident that despite the best care, attention, and treatment, an illness may no longer be controlled. While necessary medical attention continues, the focus often shifts to making the patient as comfortable as possible for their remaining days.
During this time, life becomes uniquely challenging. Simple daily acts are often combined with complex End of Life decisions and painful feelings of bereavement.
