the

last stage

of our

journey

Pa l l i at i v e C a r e
and the End of This Life

We enter the world entirely


dependent upon other
people. Most of us will also
live our final months,
weeks or days in this
world requiring the care
and support of others to
sustain us. While dying is an
intensely personal experience,
it is also a journey which we
should not have to undertake alone.
