The Dying Time: Practical Wisdom for the Dying & Caregivers

This is a simple, powerful, and incredibly useful book for those who are helping a loved one through the final stages. Written with compassion, the book manages to explain certain painful issues with clarity. The "practical wisdom" offered helped me greatly when I needed to figure out how I could help a loved one whose condition was beyond helping medically.

Brief but thorough.

As one who was one of my Dad's caregivers at home for 5 1/2 months prior to his death June 5, 1998, I found this book to offer very good advice. I especially liked the "guidelines for visitors"...
