Summary:
Few things in life can be more challenging and daunting than knowing
that a relative has a fatal illness and wants to spend as much time
as possible at home. Confronted with the realization that someone you
love has a fatal illness, you need to know what to expect, how to
help, how to cope with your own feelings and fears, and how to
cooperate with doctors to provide the best possible care for your
relative. Various chapters in this book, written in simple and
non-medical language, discuss physical, emotional, and spiritual
problems; the planning of care; agencies able to help; grief and
bereavement; cooperating with doctors; visiting in hospitals; modern
hospice care; and the book supplies all the information and guidance
anyone needs.
