Description
This book is intended to help anyone who is dying, and their family and carers. The terminal stages of life are like all the rest, in being times for people to live through as richly as they can -- but many special practicalities are likely to arise. Drawing on years of experience in hospice and elsewhere, Sue Wood and Peter Fox discuss what to expect, some important things to do, and generally what can ease life in this unfamiliar and perhaps hard journey.
