People in the final stages of the disease want to die at home, and experts agree that up to 95 % of patients have such a wish. During the dying period, the patient loses all the certainties he had until now. The GP could be the person the patient and family can turn to in this situation. Good communication and trust between the general practitioner and the patient and his family can help to manage terminal care for each patient.

Keywords: dying, terminal care, general practitioner.
