Bringing our dying home: How caring for someone at end of life builds social capital and develops compassionate communities

Abstract: In this article we discuss the ‘bringing our dying home’ research project which contributes to an understanding of caring at end of life (EOL) as potentially increasing social networks and community capacity. The main aims of the research were to illuminate the quality and effect of informal caring networks that are established, or strengthened, as a result of caring for a person dying at home and to understand how being involved in such a caring network impacts family, friends and the wider community. Using photo voice and network mapping in focus groups and interviews we collected 94 visual and oral narratives of caring and support. We found: people who engaged in acts of resistance to the Western expert-based approach to EOL care; that carers successfully mobilised and negotiated complex webs of relationships; and, that embodied learning about caring contributed to the development of social capital and compassionate communities.

Keywords: caring networks, social capital, community capacity building, qualitative research
