“What should you not say to someone in palliative care?”

Hello, What a great question! Here are a few tips and suggestions: *Don't:* * Don't ask what their prognosis is * Don't talk/focus only on their illness * Don't talk about others with a similar illness that died * Don't say anything bad about their doctor or health care team *Do:* * Do ask how *they *are doing today * Do ask what *they* would like to talk about or do today * Do ask what you can do/bring for *them* that would make them happy. (Playing cards, books, pictures, food, etc.) Just spend time with them and hold space for them to feel, be and do whatever* they* want to do. Letting them know how much you love* them*.
