Fulfilling a Final Wish: Bringing Peace and Healing
Fulfilling a final wish can bring peace and healing at life’s end. When people near the end of their lives get the chance to fulfill a “bucket list” wish, the experience can do far more than bring temporary joy.
According to a new study from The University of Texas at Arlington, these final wishes can improve emotional well-being, strengthen family relationships, and help both patients and loved ones find peace.
- Visiting a special place, such as Disneyland
- Enjoying a favorite meal
- Spending one last special day with loved ones
The study, published in Palliative & Supportive Care, was led by doctoral student Swasati Handique along with professors Scott Ryan and Michael Bennett from UT Arlington’s School of Social Work.
These final wishes can improve emotional well-being, strengthen family relationships, and help both patients and loved ones find peace.
Author summary: Final wishes bring peace and healing.
