This book is one of excellent advice. As a hospice nurse I used this book to provide easily understood information to cover multiple problems.
It discusses and provides in an understandable way many issues in a way that families can understand. Discusses many end of life things that families want to understand, but often have not been given complete and simple information about.
Do you want to know what a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) is? Do you know what questions to ask the doctor? Do you want to know about tube feedings? Is tube-feeding the same as eating? How do I know what to ask? This book answers many of the questions that come with worsening illnesses.
This book can help in family discussions. It can make the end stages of life much less complicated and much easier to understand!!
