In health care settings, personal meanings of death, dying, grieving, and care at end of life tend to be eclipsed by technical and rational biomedical frameworks of understanding. We propose that by narrating personal meanings, multivocal significance can be restored withinworlds of care. In this article, we illustrate a relationship-based approach to the construction of meaning. We convey messages of personal meaning as they emerge in the relationship of the researchers with traditionally minded Aboriginal friends asked to consider personal meanings of death, dying, grief, and end-of-life care. Recognizing that there are many different Aboriginal cultures unique to different Aboriginal peoples, the messages conveyed here are grounded in a unique personal perspective that is part of a diverse circle of cultural relations.
