People with end-stage Parkinson’s disease and dementia die in predictable ways. Most often death is from complications of falling, immobility, infection, delirium and malnutrition. These are conditions that you and your patient have been treating and trying to prevent, often for years. When complications occur, families can feel responsible. Talking in advance about what to expect can prevent a sense of failure or guilt.
