Facilitating family rituals related to death and dying promotes spiritual and emotional well-being for the dying person and their family. Decreasing analgesic dose to prevent sedation may compromise pain management, providing a basin and towels for morning self-care may not be feasible for a hospice patient, and informing family members about strict visiting hours may not be appropriate for end-of-life care.
