作者使用沟通框架从幸存者的角度探讨了最后的对话。利用回顾性访谈，55人讨论了他们与已经去世的亲人的最后谈话。为了了解幸存者的临终经历，作者确定了五种对幸存者来说似乎很重要的信息，这些信息满足了许多关系功能。主要的信息是爱，身份，宗教/灵性，日常/日常内容，以及困难的关系问题。似乎对这些信息中的每一个都至关重要的功能（例如，确认爱、改变和支持身份、确认宗教/精神信仰、维持关系以及走向和解），阐明了每一条信息对幸存者的价值。
The author explores final conversations from survivors' perspectives using a communication framework. Utilizing retrospective interviews, 55 people discussed their final conversations with a loved one who has since died. As a way to understand the survivors' end-of-life experiences, the author identified five types of messages that appear to be important for survivors and that satisfied numerous relational functions. The primary messages were love, identity, religion/spirituality, routine/everyday content, and difficult relationship issues. The functions that appear to be central to each of these messages (e.g., the confirmation of love, altering and bolstering of identity, validation of religious/spiritual beliefs, maintenance of the relationship, and stepping towards reconciliation) shed light on the value that each of the messages had for survivors.
