Abstract

The Pretoria Sungardens Hospice, South Africa was the beautiful location of my summer project. Saunders and Sykes (1993) define a Hospice as “a centre that would specialize in pain and symptom control in the terminal stages of disease but also provide an environment that would allow people to adjust emotionally and spiritually to their approaching death” . The Sungardens Hospice seems to fill these criteria perfectly.
