What Really Matters Most at the End of Life

[Professora Akira]

Comfort, come in many forms, including physical, emotional, and spiritual. Physical comfort can be achieved through proper pain relief and help with personal care. It can come from a gentle touch, therapeutic massage, or the softness of a special blanket. Emotional comfort can result from sharing thoughts and feelings, receiving support for worries and concerns, and planning for the future. Spiritual comfort can involve visits from clergy, reading meaningful writings, spending time in nature, or focusing on spiritual objects.


To feel unburdened by worries, regrets, or guilt, people can share their concerns with a trusted loved one, a hospice social worker or spiritual support counselor, or other professional counselor. Simply talking things through and expressing feelings can bring relief.


A sense of peace can also be achieved in many ways, depending on the individual. For example, peace can come from reflecting on one’s life, and both appreciating the good and forgiving the mistakes.


A sense of wonderment and spirituality can come from small moments. Sitting in a beautiful garden, hearing a bird singing, smelling cøøkíés baking in the oven, or listening to special music are just a few of the kinds of experiences that can matter at the end of life.

binigyan po tayo ng buhay para pahalagahan. wag nating sayangin.
dapat may mahalaga din tayong nacontribute sa mundo bago tayo mawala.
