Companions at the End of Life – What We Can Learn from Suffering and Death

Date:

Dr. Cesare Lino (51) practices mindfulness meditation with his patients in the palliative care department in Carinthia. In the ‘Krone’ interview, Lino explains what this form of end-of-life care looks like, what the four phases of ‘letting’ are and what positive things Lino gets from his work.

“Kron”: Dr. Lino, you and intensive care physician Rudolf Likar work in the palliative care department in Carinthia not only with the dying, but also with terminally ill patients and pain patients. You practice, among other things, so-called mindfulness meditation – what does your work entail?
Cesare Lino: I have been practicing meditation for a long time. When Primary School Rudolf Likar and I started offering mindfulness meditation to patients many years ago, I was initially skeptical. Many people barely have the strength to get out of bed or are in pain. But I realized that people with severe pain will try anything to get rid of the pain. Then they are ready to try something new.
