Every life tells its own story, as does its very ending. Death is the part of our life that has a beginning and an end. We all dream of an ideal death, without suffering and pain, but severe illnesses for which even today there is no cure for complete cure, but only alleviation of symptoms are the tragedy of our lives that nurses encounter every day in working with palliative patients. Care for people suffering from malignant diseases is called palliative care, and with it the quality of a person's life is raised and it enables the most painful death possible. Patients who are left with only a few days of life are dependent on terminal care, but the greatest reduction in their suffering and pain is their family, who are allowed to be with their loved one until the very end. Nurses have an important role in the patient's recovery, but also to experience a peaceful death, and their further education and training is of great importance. The study was conducted retrospectively based on data fromtheIstrian Health Centers Umag in the department of inpatient palliative care. The research was done to show the importance of palliative care and additional education and training of nurses who provide health care and care for palliative patients, but the greatest importance in their care is family and support that reduces the patient's pain and suffering.
