Forward Irish Hospice Foundation (IHF) in collaboration with Milford Care Centre are proud to provide this booklet to support you when someone you care about is dying. This booklet may help you to know what to expect in the last days and hours of their life. We understand this is an emotional and challenging time for you. We hope this booklet will provide you with some support to help you at this time. This version has been adapted directly from the IHF/HSE Hospice Friendly Hospitals Programme booklet, on When someone you care about is dying in hospital – What to expect with additional input from members of IHF’s Healthcare team. Talk to your healthcare team if there is anything worrying you or the person you care about. The healthcare team is generally made up of doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants, social workers, and other support staff. This booklet is freely available for anyone who wants to read it. Please take a copy for yourself or give it to anyone whom you think will find it useful. This booklet is also available to download at www.hospicefoundation.ie . IHF has a number of bereavement resources and supports available including the Bereavement Support Line to provide comfort and connection for anyone who is grieving. See details on page 15.
