Objective: To investigate the understanding and meanings attributed to the experiences that occur in the daily life of health professionals in a Support Association for people with cancer in palliative care. Methods: This is a qualitative research approached by Alfred Schütz's Social Phenomenology, which proposes to analyze the realities constructed by people and for themselves, based on their intersubjective experiences. Four health professionals who develop palliative care actions in the scenario of this study participated. Initially, the investigation was carried out through two meetings of researchers approaching the field of study, held from July to October 2018. The instrument used to collect the information was the phenomenological interview. Results: From the core ideas, five categories of analysis were defined: trajectory of palliative care professionals; palliative care: meanings and motivations; experiences and challenges lived by the team; building a singular care and dealing with the finitude of life. Conclusion: From the understanding of the process that permeates the work in palliative care emerged in the subjective discourses of caregivers the person with cancer the 'relationship with the other' and revealed daily challenges of coexistence; conflicts; personal and attitude reflections on coping with cancer. The actions signal the completeness and the solvability of care, which require a special look at the human being.
