Transition: A Guide Booklet for the End of Life
()
About this ebook
This ebooklet can change a frightening event into a poignant experience. It is a simple, easy to understand explanation of the shut down process associated with death. It defines death as the separation of the Spirit from the body. It includes the emotional-spiritual-mental aspects, the physical considerations, suggestions for children and the grief process. Problems are identified and suggestions are given to make your Beloved comfortable. It mentions the importance of caring for the caregiver and what to do upon transition. At the end of the book is an illustration of a grief arrow with an explanation about emotions associated with grief. Hope is the tip of the arrow. Used by so many Hospice organizations for years, I promised I would keep it in circulation.
