 Maybe you know someone who is seriously ill or dying. If you are one of these and have concerns as to how to respond or behave in such a situation or would just like hands-on ways as to what to do or not to do, then this book may be for you. The author addresses both the needs and concerns of the person who is dying and their caregivers. Questions about physical and spiritual issues as well as practical and legal plans and decisions that need to be made in regard to caregivers and the dying person, their wishes, and the kind of welfare that optimizes wellbeing in the final stages of life are addressed. Appendices providing help in planning for funerals / memorial services including resources such as Christian or secular suggestions for appropriate readings and music and songs are also included
