Usually the patients are elderly (the old pub owner who needed to reconcile with his daughter, Valerie's grandmother, the time Nurse Crane had to have a standoff with the police to allow a woman who once fled the Holocaust to die in her own home), but some of the most brutal episodes [[DeathOfAChild combine this duty with their role as midwives]], such as the one during the Thalidomide storyline in which the only thing Sister Julienne could do for a severely deformed infant was to let her die, warm and loved, in her arms.

* In ''VideoGame/BioshockInfinite'' ''Burial At Sea Episode 2'', Elizabeth gives Fontaine the code for a trigger phrase for his sleeper agent which in turn would kickstart the plot of the first ''VideoGame/{{Bioshock}}'' game. Of course not long after he kills her with a wrench (Though nearly doesn't get the code because he brains her ''before'' asking what it said as he can't read it. She remains conscious long enough to tell him). However he keeps his word to let the Little Sister he had held captive, Sally, go. As Elizabeth dies (though contently since she knows Jack, the protagonist of the first game, will stop Fontaine and Andrew Ryan, avenge her and save the other Little Sisters), Sally stays with Elizabeth and comforts her with a song in her final moments.
