Caring for someone who is dying
Caring for someone as they near the end of life is tender, tiring and often unfamiliar work. You do not need to get it perfect. Small acts of comfort, honest company and a clear sense of who to call all matter more than you might think.
This page is general information, not medical advice. Care at the end of life should always involve the person’s health-care team.
