About this title

Synopsis

This book by distinguished end-of-life care activist Mona Hanford prepares you and your family to ask the right questions, to face the reality that we all die, and to find real hope and faith in a loving God or within your spiritual beliefs. You will learn to consider outcomes, avoid the trap of false hope, and remain steadfast in your faith as you navigate the noisy machines and complex medical procedures that too often inflict pain and suffering and block the natural graceful exits given by God. You will discover the comforts and support of hospice care in your home, and learn to make wise choices that lead to a graceful exit for you or your loved one.
