During 2016 more than 91000 people died in Sweden. Most of them were in need of palliative care towards the end of lives. Providing support for the relatives is important and the need of support is varied. The aim of this study was to illustrate experiences of suffering and hope at the end of life care at home – based on relatives’ perspective. The result is based on ten qualitative articles with relatives’ perspectives. Fribergs “femstegsmodel” was used for the analysis. The findings show both negative and positive aspects derived from the relatives’ experiences of suffering and hope. The conclusion was that the right support, right treatment and good communication between those involved make the grief process easier and affect the experiences of suffering and hope.
