Abstract

On the basis of a case report it can be demonstrated, how important the acquirement about the social net of the patient for a palliative team is. The involvement of the family into dealing with death and ending of life is as important as the co-caring of the family itself. Only by recognizing the structures inside of a family, an optimal care can take place.
