A holistic approach to the care of the dying is unthinkable today without the right palliative care intervention. Palliative medicine helps a person to cope with those situations that are no longer medically manageable. Palliative care is a quality-of-life approach for patients and their families who are in direct interaction with a terminal illness, the goal of which is predominantly pain management. It is no coincidence that palliative medicine is called comforting, not excluding the psychosocial and spiritual component. Hospice is the most widely practiced palliative care.
