Resumen:
The term intangible describes something that has no physical presence and that cannot be touched ¿love and truth, for example, are both intangible. To a certain extent, many of the values of palliative care are also intangible. In this article, we discuss these facets of palliative care along with the nature of advanced illness and the essence of caring. We also reflect on how these intangible values are perceived, both by those who receive palliative care and those who provide it. Finally, we analyse the difficulty in conveying the message of palliative care, to society and to other professionals, precisely because of the intangible nature of what we wish to transmit.
