Effective care for terminally ill patients and their families necessitates knowledge about death and dying. Health care workers often find loving, caring families unable to share their fears, worries, and strengths, and a "conspiracy of silence" is developed to protect the patient.
Topics: promoting communication, advanced directives, saying goodbye
Audience: Students in allied health, medical or social work training; long-term/hospice care staff; family caregivers.
