There are many ways in which family members can care for loved ones. Simply being with the person facing a terminal illness provides tremendous support. Talking about the disease process, death and the person's response and feelings can be quite helpful. Family members should allow loved ones who are facing death to express their feelings and their fears without being judgmental. As death nears, family members can help by speaking to their loved one, holding the person's hand, and by helping ensure the person is comfortable and is treated with dignity.
