A relative tells you that your aunt wanted to die at home rather than stay in the hospital. He goes on to say, "That's creepy, especially for her husband who will still be living there." What is a benefit of dying at home that you could point out?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Home is a familiar setting that may bring back pleasant memories and it may be more comforting to be cared for by someone you know and love rather than a stranger. In a hospital, the focus is on keeping the person alive rather than meeting socioemotional needs.
