With all the heated debate about euthanasia and suicide it is easy to forget that we are dealing with humanity here! While I struggle with the question myself, partly because of the desire to keep loved ones here, partly because of my religious convictions, there is an awful lot that can be done to make things easier for terminally ill patients and their families.
Support can come via counseling, palliative care and respite care, as well as financial assistance!
How much money do family members save the system by being full time carers? What can you and I do to help?
