    AbstractDeath is an emotional event that leaves lasting memories for the bereaved. This article describes the qualitative analysis of a mailed family survey addressing experiences with community hospital inpatient end-of-life care. Family members identified and appreciated symptom management and caring behaviors such as compassion and communication; they also noted the absence of these caring behaviors. Effective application of these behaviors to the dying experience should improve family satisfaction with end-of-life care.
