(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, June 01, 2012 ) Kauai, HI -- Over two million American die each year. Although most express a desire to die at home, only about 40% actually do so.
Why? Because people are still scared to talk about dying and don't think they can handle a home death.
Coming Home gives readers the feeling of having a friend sitting at the kitchen table sharing the step-by-step information needed to support a dying loved one at home and to help them continue to live a full life after the death.
Now in its 4th edition, Coming Home covers with sensitivity, humor, and common sense questions such as:
- Can I handle a home death? How do I deal with my grief? Can we afford to stay at home? - Can I give an injection? Can pain be controlled at home? - What do I need to know about legal issues? How can I find meaning in the dying process?
"Excellent reference book. It's beautifully written and extremely helpful." says Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, MD.
