Summary

One of the loneliest tasks on earth is caring for a loved one who is dying. There are 25 million people in that role today and the number is increasing dramatically. This book is a blend of facts and stories that inform, inspire and provide insight to the caregiver as he or she faces the painful, but normal, challenges of death and dying. In the midst of anticipatory grief can be found oppurtunities for growth and discovery. The book provides space for the reader to record his or her own thoughts, important information and invaluable memories. This book provides the support needed to make caregiving the "most rewarding job you ever had." Dr. Ira Byock, author of "Dying The Prospect for Growth at the End of Life" says that this book is a successful blend of wisdom and pragmatism . . . a valuable resource. It explores such topics as "death with Dignity," "quality of life" and what to expect as a terminal illness progresses.
