Patients, especially mothers who carry the burden of caring for their family members, need empathy and support from their surroundings when dealing with incurable diseases. Creating meaning in the lives of sick mothers can allow the punishment to be provided with the help of the service provider. The purpose of this study is to explain this phenomenon.
