End of life care training: Providers, schools, information

End-of-life care is there to accompany, assist and support people during their last months or weeks before death. This requires very considerate and appreciative care. People of all ages are in great need of support and attention during their final days. The bereaved family and the close environment of the dying also need attention during this time. The subject of death and dying causes a lot of uncertainty, insecurity, excessive demands and questions, not least because fewer and fewer people are confronted with death in their everyday lives these days. It is often a taboo subject and often comes as a surprise to those affected. Dying also raises numerous questions: Where do I go after death? What is dying like? Why me? Why now? Have I said everything I wanted to say? Do I still have things I want to clarify before I go? Those close to me also often have to deal with many question marks: What do I do when my loved one is no longer there? Have I missed something? How should I say goodbye?

During training as an end-of-life caregiver, participants learn to accompany dying people and their personal environment through the dying process in an empathetic, attentive and considerate manner. In addition to grief counselling, they also learn to support the family and bereaved with organizational issues and to help them cope with the first steps after the death has occurred. During the end-of-life care training, graduates learn about the different religions and cultures and how they deal with dying. Their own attitude towards death is also an important part of the training.

It is clear that anyone who wants to complete a training course for end-of-life caregivers must have a great deal of calm, empathy, self-confidence and a stable personality.
