Facing the prospect of losing a loved one is agonizing. Feeling that you are facing this situation alone and not knowing what to expect can be terrifying. Hospice is here to help, not just your loved one, but you and all who will be assisting in their care. This book explains what hospice is, who qualifies, creating a plan of care, and how even some of the most difficult symptoms can be managed in the peace and dignity of the patient's home. When illness banishes hope, hospice can bring the hope of a dignified, comfortable and peaceful departure from this life. And that is not all the hope that this book brings. Included within are many experiences of families and hospice staff that suggest that life after death, and reunification with departed loved ones, is not just possible, but probable.
