The social construction of a dying role is emerging in response to terminal illness
for which the sick role is no longer functional. When people are in the process of
dying, in the absence of a dying role, they take on the rights and responsibilities
of the sick role to which they have been socialized. This is problematic for the
individual who will not get well no matter how hard the effort. Hospice, a professional
community with a central purpose of bringing the drama of dying to an appropriate
close, marks the transition from a sick role to a dying role. This article looks
at how the hospice community directs this transition and redefinition of self for
the dying and significant others. Utilizing the symbolic interactionist and phenomenlogical
perspective and the sick role theory of Talcott Parsons, this view of the drama is
demonstrated through stories of hospice patients.
