Reorientation of people for death.

Is it patronising-medic-speak for getting someone used to the idea that they are dying?

End of Life care has not been managed well, if at all in some situations. Some may prefer not to discuss but the opportunity should be there for those who do. It's an uneasy subject for many of us.

?telling people that their end is nigh? Suggesting they should confess and have last rites? Think on the number of their days? How grim for New Years Day

Could it be something like a visit from her minister or priest if she is religious?

I hope I can still manage to say fuck off with my final breath. [tchhmm ]

Wondering if about asking what a person's preferences are re End of Life care, or allowing some who is nearing the end of their life to talk about their feelings and wishes?

Do tell if your brother lets you know! Or maybe you could ask at the nursing home?

I did look bags but assumed there was a modern version!

Dunno, but a google search of "reorientation for death" brought up some stuff about the thoughts of Plato, Socrates and Augustine about souls and immortality.

No idea

I saw this and thought... what?? (haven't a clue).

My brother mentioned it in a message. Apparently, he's told the nh not to do it for mum but he isn't answering my message asking what it is!

I presume it doesn't involve moving the bed to a different position?

Not a clue!

? [shrug] also !
