(Medical Xpress)—Australians have a poor track record of talking about death and dying. A recent survey of Australians who'd just lost a loved one to a terminal illness found just 15 per cent were told how their relative wanted to be cared for in their final days. Consequently, while most (70 per cent) people prefer to die at home, more than half (54 per cent) die in hospital and 32 per cent die in nursing homes.
