  • Caring Well for One Another Through the End of Life We’Re Prepared for fires and Hurricanes, but What About Death, the Natural Disaster That Awaits Us All?
    LOG IN / SIGN UP WELL-BEING WISDOM WONDER PURPOSE SLEEP SPECIAL SECTIONS COMMUNITY COMMUNITY // August 29, 2019 Caring Well for One Another Through the End of Life We’re prepared for fires and hurricanes, but what about death, the natural disaster that awaits us all? By Ira Byock, MD, physician, author, patient advocate. Founder, Institute for Human Caring at Providence St. Joseph Health Photo by Jean Sabeth on Unsplash Front-page headlines frequently carry news of a killer storm that has ravaged someplace in the country. Our hearts go out the victims and we reflect that, fortunately, most people who live in regions prone to hurricanes, tornados, forest fires and floods wisely prepare to weather the forces of nature. It would be foolish not to. In contrast, when it comes to death, the natural disaster that awaits us all, relatively few Americans are sufficiently informed or have taken basic steps to keep themselves and their families safe from harm when dying. The danger is real. Despite decades of efforts and significant improvements in end-of-life care, studies reveal that many Americans still suffer as they die or spend their last days in places or situations they would never have wanted. There are no villains here. Life is precious and no one wants to lose people they love. However, by acting as if death can always be forestalled, well-intentioned doctors and loving families can inadvertently make dying much harder than it needs to be. Here are a few things worth considering: First, in every community there are palliative care and hospice teams ready to support you and the people you love through these inherently difficult experiences.
