- Title
Finding meaning in distress.
- Authors
Smyth, Dion
- Abstract
The author comments on the role of palliative care practitioners in helping people find meaning in, from and for their distress. Harry Patch, one of the remaining survivors of World War I (WWI) who died in September 2009, was unable to recount his experience during the conflict until he was a centenarian. The Imperial War Museum in Great Britain has started a project involving people writing an account of their life to help them see meaning in their actions.
