Death may be the only certainty in life, but for palliative care patients and their carers, it is anything but. How long is there left? Will a hospice bed be available? What new loss (big or small), will tomorrow bring? Research suggests that the poor management of uncertainty in palliative care can significantly impact patient outcomes as well as the experience of bereaved families. Social workers cannot mitigate this uncertainty, but they can support individuals to recognise and engage with it. Often, this can create tensions with their personal instinct to remove distress, as well as their professional drive to ‘fix things’. By overcoming these challenges and embracing their ability to find ways forward ‘in the midst of the messy stuff’, they model a constructive mode of behaviour that patients and other multidisciplinary professionals can then mirror.
