process of dying
Terminal care is health care given to people at the end of life when curative measures have been exhausted and supportive palliative care is more appropriate. Terminal care focuses on maintaining good quality of life, relief of suffering, and physical, psychosocial, and spiritual support during the last days and weeks of living.
