With the rapid development of economy, people enjoy the superior and more convenient material life, while the lifestyle is not healthy, the ecological environment is deteriorating, and people have to take the huge psychological pressure and discomfort that the social change brings about. What above said leads to increasing morbidity and mortality of all kinds of malignant tumor, and younger onset age. Malignant tumor results in the discomfort of body and the fear of death, which has a negative impact on life. Along with the progress of human civilization, people are paying attention to the eugenics. At the same time, people begin to actively focus on the death, and realize that death is also an important link of life experience. Being-towards-death is the norm of life. People pay more attention on hospice care and professional hospice care becomes the most pressing demand of the dying and their families.In this study a terminal cancer patient is as the research object. Through the death of cognitive research, the author attempts to find and summarize the regularity of the three phases, to better understand the terminal cancer patients, to explore the localization of social work service mode, and to promote the development of hospice social work. In the research, on the one hand, the open wire is the process of death. Based on the five stages of Loss, the author describes the shock, despair and indifferently three stages of his life story, and attempts to understand the change of the death cognition in this way. At the beginning of the illness, he denied the disease, wasn’t willing to receive the cancer. He had a negative attitude towards death and did everything possible to avoid death. He ignored the fact that he was about to die and felt frightened and scared of death. But now, he can keep calm and face the death of patients positively. He thinks that it may be a relief and belonging, if someone can leave quietly, peacefully, with no pain. On the other hand, the dark line is the influence and change of social work intervention to the study object. In hospice ward, he accepts the professional service of social workers, enriches the hospital life, expands the social contacts, pays attention to the growth and positive impact of death, and has a new view on the meaning of life. He knows that every life is meaningful, existence is meaning. In addition, under the guidance and encouragement of social workers, he actively uses his own advantages and resources to transfer his roles, to create his own value. He tries his best to feel life, to appreciate the love of the mother, and to reconstruct the meaning of life.
