Sammanfattning
The purpose of this essay is to explore the relatives’ experiences of being with
their loved ones during the dying process. Research question: How do relatives
experience being with their loved ones during the dying process? Within a
phenomenological hermeneutical framework, the personal experiences of the
author are interpreted. Essay as a method of critical investigation is used.
Relatives may experience the situation strongly existential, being stuck in
dilemmas, thus making them less responsive to the actions of the nurses. This
challenges nurses to be aware and to put efforts in trying to understand the other
and develop their ability to be sensitive and receptive. Whoever is silent, will
hear. Being attentive to silence may be a useful approach in order to being
emotionally present to the other.
