Abstract

In this study, a narrative account of the final weeks in the life of Andy, a 59 year-old father and husband diagnosed with terminal cancer, is told from the perspective of the Chaplain/Researcher. The study focuses on the question: What is a good death? A single case study approach is used and the data are collected, analyzed, and synthesized using Narrative Inquiry Methods. It was concluded that Andy did have a good death experience and that quality of relationships are key in determining whether a person dies well or not. Implications are drawn as to how each of us may better prepare for our own demise.
