Resilience can be defined as the remarkable capacity to endure, withstand, and recover from adversity—a testament to one's toughness in the face of challenges. Patients facing life-limiting illness demonstrate resilience in how they navigate the emotional and existential challenges, adapt to their changing circumstances and find strength during adversity.
This episode also explores the realm of caregiving and how caregivers summon the determination to face each day and provide unwavering support to their ailing loved ones. While facing the prospect of losing their loved one, how do they navigate and cope with moments of profound difficulty?
Palliative care teams emerge as crucial pillars of support in this time. How do healthcare professionals play a role in supporting patients and their caregivers? How do they lend their strength to families who have lost their loved one? This episode seeks to highlight their indispensable role in offering guidance, solace, and a collaborative approach to end-of-life care.
