1.1 INTRODUCTION
Death is one of the great certainties of life & a life changing experience. To
understand what a dying person need we have to understand & define the
experience of death & dying. There are two death situations that people face
every day, the sudden death and the expected death(slow death) death caused by
a terminal disease. In the sudden death the family members are the ones who
suffer, it is a very shocking & heartbreaking experience. Where in the near
death experience both of the patient & the family members are suffering, in this
experience the patient goes through a grief cycle.Many chronic diseases have
recently accrued. The medical science has provided the best treatments for such
diseases but still they cannot be cured. Hospitals alone are no longer satisfying
these emerging needs. Whereas new solutions of care & treatment are becoming
highly in demand for societies & communities

terminally ill patients & their family emotionally, spiritually & psychosocially
to scope with end stage disease.Hospice care believes that the quality of life is
important as the length of life.

pain & ache associated with the illness. It is basically concerned with physical
state of the patient. This care is provided by a special medical team that includes
doctors, nurses & specialists who work together to provide the best medical care
for them.
