The Family Handbook of Hospice Care

The Family Handbook of Hospice Care is a comprehensive resource book for individuals and families seeking practical information and emotional support. Coping with a loved one's terminal illness means more than pain management -- it means sorting through legal and financial issues; dealing with feelings of denial, fear, guilt, and loss; and learning to make the most of each day. When a loved one is dying, a number of painful questions arise: Why is this happening to us? Can we care for our loved one at home? How do we say goodbye? How do we arrange a funeral? Answered are these basic questions, plus common concerns about available services, emotional and physical needs, death and dying, home care, legal and financial matters, bereavement, and more.
