Abstract

Caring for people at the end of their lives requires human, technical and ethical characteristics. The person at the time of his death needs the human approach of those who care for him in addition to his professional competence. In this article I will discuss how to care for people so that leaving this life is not a traumatic experience for those who die and for their loved ones who accompany them in the process of dying, and so that those who die perceive that they are cared for by caring, sensitive and knowledgeable people.
