Many people who are caring for a terminally ill person have never done it before. A Caregiver’s Guide can serve as a sensitive, helpful resource for families who are being served by hospice. A Caregiver’s Guide to the Dying Process prepares caregivers by discussing both the physical symptoms of dying and the psychological issues that accompany the dying process. It may also be used by hospices and other end-of-life organizations as a helpful training aid for staff and volunteers.
