Yet, discussing the reality of dying remains a social taboo.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Objective\u2002<\/jats:bold> To examine the ways, family caregivers of people living with motor neurone disease (MND) experienced the dying of their relative and to identify how health practitioners can better prepare families for end\u2010of\u2010life care.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Design\u2002<\/jats:bold> Secondary analysis was undertaken on data sets generated from two longitudinal qualitative studies employing similar data collection and analysis methods. Combining data sets increased participant numbers in a low incidence disease group.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Setting and participants\u2002<\/jats:bold> Primary studies were undertaken with family caregivers in England and Australia. Interview and observational data were collected mostly in home. Participants who discussed dying and death formed the sample for secondary analysis.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> Combined data revealed four major themes: planning for end of life, unexpected dying, dignity in the dying body and positive end to MND. Despite short survival predictions, discussions among family members about dying were often sporadic and linked to loss of hope. Effective planning for death assisted caregivers to manage the final degenerative processes of dying. When plans were not effectively communicated or enacted, capacity to preserve personhood was reduced.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Discussion and Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold> Returning death and dying to social discourse will raise the level of community awareness and normalize conversations about end\u2010of\u2010life care. Strategies for on\u2010going, effective communication that facilitates advance care planning among patients, their families and practitioners are essential to improve dying and death for people with MND and their family caregivers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1369-7625.2012.00773.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,19]],"date-time":"2012-04-19T08:27:29Z","timestamp":1334824049000},"page":"466-476","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Dying with motor neurone disease, what can we learn from family caregivers?"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Robin A.","family":"Ray","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janice","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annette F.","family":"Street","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_2","unstructured":"Sach Associates.Future service directions review 2003.
