Publisher's Synopsis
Most of us have an understanding of what makes a "good death" and want that for ourselves and loved ones. Although facing death is different for each person and each family, there is expertise and support available to make dying at home a better experience for all concerned.;This guide is designed to help dying patients and carers see that they get what they need: it makes clear what help is available, advises where to find it and how to ask for it, often a bewildering process when we are feeling vulverable, unwell and distressed. Communication is absolutely vital at this time - yet the terminally ill and their families are often unable to recognise their requirements and make them known. This book is intended to help readers to identify and acknowledge those needs, both emotional and physical.
