Thai Buddhist nurses described a peaceful death as 'a situation in which persons who are dying have peace of mind, and do not show signs and symptoms of suffering. Peaceful death occurs when family members declare acceptance of their loved one's dying and eventual death. Such a death is witnessed by relatives and friends and the dying person is not alone.' The findings encourage nurses to be with, and provide palliative care for, dying patients and families.
