This paper is an extension of a long-term research program in\u00a0palliative care. Based upon our understanding about the dying process,\u00a0we would like to further discuss the psychological processes that\u00a0affiliated caregivers (including parents, husband\/wife, children, relatives,\u00a0or friends) will go through, then move on to propose a new approach of\u00a0bedside companionship for the dying patients. At the same time, this\u00a0research builds on psychological counseling and expands it to\u00a0psycho-spiritual care, which emphasizes not on changing the patients but\u00a0on bedside companionship . The research results shows that two\u00a0patterns of care are emerged during the different stages of patients\u2019\u00a0condition: while the patient still remained in the social consciousness,\u00a0the most fitted care will be \u2018 a better management of bedside-things\u2019,\u00a0bu5 as the inward-turning happened, the better care will be the\u00a0psychological calmness, silence by bedside and do nothing. As the\u00a0dying arrives at the active dying stage, his mode of being will be\u00a0deprived of the ego mentality, which will then lead to a breach between\u00a0\u00a0he caregivers and the dying patients, and bar the former from accessing\u00a0the latter. The operational procedures for the caregivers to get into the\u00a0existential mode of \u201cbeing-with-the-patient,\u201d which allow both parties to\u00a0share tenderness, mercy, compassion, and god-like love is examined and\u00a0the possible mechanism of patient-caregiver coupling theory for bedside\u00a0companionship is explored.<\/p>\n
