    About this ebook

    We all approach trauma differently. This becomes especially clear during a terminal medical crisis when fears and emotions are heightened. Preparing to Part is about how a couple can live and evolve during times of medical crisis, ending their days together in love.
    The goals are to leave the surviving partner with the ability to carry on without guilt ,while assisting the dying spouse in saying a positive goodbye. Both goals are equally precious.

    Practical and thoughtful ideas to assist the surviving spouse to maneuver and rebuild after a heartbreaking loss are discussed.

    Preparing to part gives the entire family a better chance to navigate their potentially rocky future by providing ways to manage grief and forge a new path.

      In the past I used to wait alone in the living room while my wife prepared dinner for the family. Whenever I joined her in the kitchen, she’d complain that I was distracting her because I’d chat to her without helping with the cooking. But all that w

      I DON’T think I’d describe myself as a perfectionist. Yes, I do push hard to get things right and I expect the same from others, but I don’t spiral if things happen to be different from what the textbook says. As I’ve grown older I’ve realised there’
