1 -- Family members are often afraid to be present at the time of death, yet dying alone is the greatest fear expressed by patients. There is no information provided to indicate there will be a recovery or improvement in the patient’s condition. While the patient may wish to live longer, these behaviors are consistent with a fear of dying alone.
Don't forget to give me a thumbs up!
