Den Tagen mehr Leben geben

In the everyday reality of care and support, death and grief are ever-present. Therefore, it is important to make good use of the remaining time in the final phase of life, to shape it in a way that makes it worthwhile, and thus to give "more life" to the days. Cicely Saunders, the pioneer of the hospice movement and palliative care, coined this statement. Her famous quote: "It is not about adding more days to life, but about adding more life to days" represents a holistic, life-affirming approach to end-of-life care that assigns special significance to the remaining time. This guide demonstrates how such end-of-life and grief support can be successfully implemented despite time constraints in the care and support routine, allowing those we accompany to enjoy a fulfilling evening of life and to embark on a dignified "final journey.".
