When launching end of life care, the all-consuming preparations often distract from enjoying precious time left for living. Outings planned with family and friends, gentle activities that require little physical effort, can uplift and infuse the palliative patient with joy and comfort.

For those anticipating the loss of their loved one, these shared experiences will provide cherished memories, available for reflection throughout the difficult grieving process.
