What to Expect

Many of us have little experience in supporting a family member or friend during serious illness and at the end of life.  Speak to your healthcare team if you have questions or concerns about what to expect as end of life approaches.

The South East LHIN Home and Community Care  has produced a Caregivers' Guide- When Death Occurs at Home.


There are online resources that cover a range of topics:

Canadian Virtual Hospice:  Information and support on palliative and end of life care, loss and grief.
