Dying is a natural part of life, yet many of us do not know what will happen or how to care for someone at the end of life. This compassionate, easy-to-read booklet will help prepare you for what to expect when someone you know is in the final weeks or days of life.
Topics include physical changes near the end of life (eating, toileting, breathing, body temperature, waves of energy), social changes near the end of life (withdrawal, confusion, restlessness, anxiety), saying goodbye, signs that death may be near, what to expect at the moment of death, and care for family and caregivers.
