Family caregivers play an important role in advanced disease patient care. The goal of this study was to characterize the family caregiver in palliative care, evaluating the circumstances and consequences of care and preparation for the loss of the loved one. This is a quantitative, prospective and longitudinal study. The sample consisted of 60 family caregivers, mostly women, married with an average age of 44.53 years. Most caregivers cohabit with the patient, and they spend the greater part of their day caring for the patient and a significant part quit their jobs or reduce working hours to be with the patient. The highest burden caregivers also showed higher levels of anxiety, depression, somatization and less social support. The most dysfunctional family caregivers reported little social support and those caregivers who were less prepared for the death of the patient showed more symptoms of peritraumatic dissociative experience. Most caregivers were aware of the severity of the illness of their family member and the proximity of death, and considered that the patient was very well taken care of in the palliative care service.
