Palliative care is specialized medical treatment for those who die to maximize the quality of life in progressive diseases, to help families and carers, and to continue even after death.
Palliative care, also called comfortable care, focuses on caring and special care for life, not death. The palliative palliative care program is also addressing mental health and spiritual needs. Focus is to make people feel control of their treatment and quality of life. Palliative care involves families and friends. Families and friends must prepare for the death of someone they like. When people enter hospitality or start palliative care, loved ones may start to feel sorrow and death feelings. These feelings may become intense as people arrange the final matters in order, including funeral and memorial projects. Another problem to consider is the right to die, including attorney's arrangement, voluntary euthanasia.
Palliative care can be done at a hospital, home or hospital. The services available to that person and their families are as follows.

Palliative support - Palliative care workers will also provide help and support in the process of grief.
Since medical needs change depending on death-related illness, special palliative care programs exist for general conditions such as cancer and AIDS. If brain changes lead to coma or dementia, special care is also necessary.
Palliative care has been recognized as a medical specialty since 1987, but recently only palliative care needs of children and their families are considered. Child palliative care for children is closely related to adult palliative care. Pediatric palliative care is an aggressive comprehensive care of the child's body, mind and spirit, and includes providing support to families. It begins when the disease is diagnosed and continues regardless of whether the child is receiving treatment directed to the disease.
There are also various support services, training and educational programs, services that show respect, and resource centers that provide caregivers.
Please keep in mind that palliative care can distinguish between calm and dignified death, or things that may suffer for a long time.
