Cover Story: Informal caregivers, who are usually family members, play a key role in providing appropriate palliative care for ill individuals, but they often lack adequate professional support. Palliative care is now recognised as every patient's right and includes not only the relief of physical symptoms, but also the provision of psychological, social and spiritual support for patients and their families. Their stories reveal the emotional and spiritual challenges they face and the coping strategies they develop. A better understanding of these experiences can enable earlier involvement of mobile palliative care teams and improve collaboration between professionals and families. This in turn helps to facilitate dying with dignity while reducing the emotional burden on caregivers. View this paper
