Hold my hand at the end (at or near the end-of-life)
The end-of-life may come suddenly, or a person may be near-death for days or a longer period before finally passing. For some people, the body weakens while the mind stays clear. For others the opposite is true. You may want to know what happens when someone is dying and how to provide comfort and care, what to say, or what to do.
Thinking about the end of life can be emotional and death can be a difficult topic to talk about. There are also many practical things you can do may have to do. This module will provide insight into the following areas: care when nearing the end (practical issues), providing physical comfort, mental and emotional needs, and spiritual needs.
