Embracing Comfort Care for Life’s Final Journey
The medical approach known as comfort therapy has also been dubbed as palliative therapy, which is all about making an individual’s living more worthy by taking care of him or her in case he/she contracts a very serious disease that may be fatal or if he/she has long-lasting illnesses. In contrast to curative treatments whose objectives are to eliminate diseases, comfort care seeks primarily to alleviate symptoms, manage pain as well as provide emotional support among other things to patients and their families.
