Supporting family caregivers at the end of life: "they don't know what they don't know."
Article Abstract:
Tips are provided for doctors who want to provide more support for the families of dying patients, based on the case of a 70-year-old man who died of pancreatic cancer. Caregivers often have health problems of their own, as well as financial and emotional burdens that make it difficult to care for dying family members. Helping family members may alleviate the doctor's frustration that he or she could not do more for the patient.
