After a thorough research, I have finally decided that my final project for nursing inquiry and Praxis III will be a literature review on the experience of being a spouse caregiver of a dying person. Although, there are various research in spouse caregiver burnouts, there are limited resources for the aftermath of the death. Sadly, we see this often when a spouse becomes a caregiver to the dying person and neglect’s their own existence by making their spouse a priority by forgetting that there is life after the person is gone. My aim is to acquire knowledge and resources on the effects of a spouse dedicating themselves to a dying person and what happens after the person passes on. How do the person move on with their lives? This can be beneficial in nursing by providing more insight into this problem, as well as providing holistic care to the family members of the dying one.
