Comfort & Hope for the Dying

How we can help the dying:

Make a referral to Hospice

Allow the person to control his/her care

Assure the person that he/she is not a burden

Provide good palliative care

Provide good pastoral care

Help the person to continue activities and “live” until they die

Remember the family caregivers! Do all that you can to relieve their burden and offer support. Caregivers often present to bereavement groups with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder when their needs have not been met.

Pray for all involved!
