In an end-of-life situation, there are many concerns for both the dying patient, as well as those who love them; the decrease in their ability to function, wanting to leave a meaningful legacy, processing cherished, and sometimes difficult, life experiences, the anxiety of the unknown and of potential pain, being able to say goodbye, but most commonly, hoping that their life was of value, and that their existence was meaningful.
