Are you familiar with the BBC series Call the Midwife? It is very well done and the first season was based on a trilogy written by Jennifer Worth. She also wrote a book titled In the Midst of Life based on her nursing experience a few decades ago. My copy of that book is currently loaned out, but it focused a lot on end of life health. I think you would like reading her perspective on end of life concerns in the sixties.
