When a loved one breaks the news that they have a terminal disease, it feels like a blow in the face. How to respond and what to say, you feel all perplexed. You just know that your loved one needs you and you want to do all in your power to be helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may initially feel horrified or perhaps you suddenly experience grief. There is no right or wrong way to respond to such a situation, and it is never an easy thing to hear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your emotions are real. To cope with the situation better, first, you should hold and comprehend them so that you don’t hurt your loved one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can help your loved one with palliative care at home. But first, you should have a clear understanding of end-of-life care and what things you should avoid saying to the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those who are approaching the end of their lives, palliative care is a specialized form of care that focuses on improving the quality of life of patients with life-threatening conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Palliative care at home can help patients with serious chronic diseases including cancer, heart disease, chronic lung disease, AIDS, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, and ALS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Palliative care at home<\/strong><\/a> enables patients to manage their illness in the security and comfort of their own residence, accompanied by loved ones. A specialized live-in caregiver can help with therapies and symptom relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Palliative care is a critical time for the patients as well as the families. The patients need their family members to stay closer to them, so make sure you don\u2019t say anything that could unintentionally hurt their feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Someone with a terminal illness might not want to discuss or share their feelings or specific medical information, so you should be careful not to start the conversation by asking how they feel. An alternate greeting is to express how wonderful it is to see them. You’re putting the emphasis on them rather than their condition by expressing how genuinely delighted you are to see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might not realize it, but talking about someone else’s disease might be upsetting for your loved one. Comparing two persons with the same ailment won’t show up any hope because everyone responds to treatments and drugs differently. During palliative care<\/strong>, instead of fostering false optimism focus on the present and ask if they need any help, such as getting medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n5 Things You Should Avoid Saying to Someone in Palliative Care<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
