Last hours of living
Clin Geriatr Med.
2004 Nov.
Abstract
The last hours of living can be one of the most important times in the life of any patient and his/her family. With appropriate preparation and careful management of the process by skilled clinicians, dying and death can be a comfortable and even rewarding experience for everyone involved. After death, careful attention to the grief of survivors can help them cope with their loss and rebuild their lives.
