In this study, we investigated the experiences of family caregivers of patients in the palliative phase during the first wave of the Covid-19-pandemic in the Netherlands (March-June 2020). We analysed social media posts and online newspaper articles to investigate family caregivers' experiences. The dataset published here contains 357 Tweet IDs, 20 anonymised Facebook posts and 17 online newspaper articles. 18 forum posts were also analysed in this study, but those could not be made available due to the terms and services of the forum platforms.
