Scenario

When families disagree about presence during a loved one's final moments

Our father is actively dying and my siblings and I can't agree on whether to stay in his room constantly or give him space - some of us feel like we need to be there every moment and others think we're overwhelming him, and we're creating tension during his final days.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The dying process reveals different ways of loving and grieving that can conflict when families try to coordinate care.
