This review is from: I'm with You Now: A Guide Through Incurable Illness for Patients, Families, and Friends (Paperback)
This book is easy to read and written so that one can glance through to select information that could be helpful. Those loving/ caring for terminally ill patients are usually quite busy. People deal with death as differently as they do anything else in life and this book provides insight into a variety of situations that can be challenging. I've trained as a hospice volunteer and have been reading books on this topic for decades. I believe this book is very useful in a general collection dealing with death and dying and definitely something worth keeping in my library.

Not the greatest on the subject so I passed it along to someone else. Not worth to be a part of my library.
