- Summary:
- Despite having the best palliative care, some patients develop a wish to die. The wish to die under these circumstances need not be symptomatic of suboptimal care. However, for those involved in their care, being confronted with a patient who expresses such a wish can be morally, intellectually, and emotionally challenging. This book explores the subjective experience and needs of patients who hold such wishes, the meanings these wishes may have for them, and some of the moral and practical challenges presented by caring for these patients.
