Informazioni su questo ebook

If you have heard the words 'palliative care' and felt a chill, you are not alone. Most people misunderstand it as giving up or waiting for the end. This book is here to clear the fog. Palliative care is not about hastening death; it is about maximising the life that remains — relieving pain, managing symptoms, and supporting emotional and spiritual well-being. Written for the adult child suddenly thrust into the role of care navigator, this guide walks you through what palliative care actually involves: who provides it, when to ask for it, how to talk to your parent and the clinical team, and how to make decisions that honour your parent's values. You will find no jargon, no false cheer, and no medical directives that apply everywhere. Instead, you will get a clear, compassionate map of the territory, with practical checklists for each stage. Whether your parent is at home, in a care home, or on a hospital ward, this book helps you ask the right questions, know what to expect, and hold space for both hope and honesty. Part of The Caring for a Parent Library.
