Wiki:
"In 1987, Averil Stedeford, an experienced psychiatrist working at a hospice in Oxford, UK, defined palliative care as A safe place to suffer.[5] At first glance this seems an unusual definition, but on closer examination this may be one of the best definitions of palliaitve care:

'Place' is not a physical environment, but the relationship between a person and their carer.
'Suffer' describes the distress that is left after you have helped any physical, social, or psychiatric problems. It is about the loss that person has, or is going to experience.
Although there are no magic pills or therapies to ease this grief, it is therapeutic for the person to be able to express their distress. However, they will only do so if they are free of troublesome symptoms and, particularly if they feel it is safe to do so.

A Safe Place to Suffer is about trust, good symptom control and listening in a therapeutic relationship. These are at the core of effective palliative care."
