The gravitational dynamics of a collapsing matter configuration which is simultaneously radiating heat flux is studied in f(R) gravity. Three particular functional forms in f(R) gravity are considered to show that it is possible to envisage boundary conditions such that the end state of the collapse has a weak singularity and that the matter configuration radiates away all of its mass before collapsing to reach the central singularity.
