A Terminal Illness Primer for Caregivers: Lessons from My Brother's End-of-life Journey Ann S. Oliverio 1st edition

Part memoir, part how-to manual, this short, concise but in-depth guidebook for caregivers gently takes the reader from terminal diagnosis through death ? covering topics such as interfacing with the medical community, making decisions about treatment, estate planning, completing important medical documents, providing comfort, engaging hospice, and choosing a funeral home ? through personal recollection. Based on the author?s experience of caring for her terminally ill brother, this primer is a valuable resource for anyone embarking on their own journey of caregiving for a terminally ill friend or loved one.
