Abstract

Euthanasia, the deliberate ending of life to alleviate suffering, presents profound emotional and psychological challenges for families and caregivers. This paper explores the complex emotional responses of those directly involved in the euthanasia process, including feelings of grief, guilt, relief, and moral conflict. By drawing on case studies, psychological research, and interviews with caregivers and family members, the study aims to understand the multifaceted emotional ripple that euthanasia causes. It highlights the burden caregivers often bear in balancing their compassionate intentions with societal, ethical, and personal dilemmas. Additionally, the paper examines how family members process loss in the aftermath of euthanasia, navigating the intricate interplay between sorrow, relief, and potential emotional dissonance. By providing a deeper understanding of these reactions, this study seeks to inform healthcare professionals about the psychological support needs of families and caregivers during and after euthanasia decisions, encouraging more compassionate and holistic care approaches in end-of-life situations.
