The End-of-Life Handbook

The authors have managed to include the most valuable information to caregivers of loved ones facing life-limiting illnesses all in one book.

As a nurse working in the field that I do, I get questions from friends, neighbors, and acquaintances in addition to my patients about what they should be doing while caring for a loved one. I don’t always have all the answers to their questions. This book does.

The End-of-Life Handbook: A Compassionate Guide to Connecting With and Caring for a Dying Loved One integrates the medical, physical, social, and emotional aspects of caring for a loved one. It’s written by David B. Felman, PH.D., an assistant professor of counseling psychology at Santa Clara University, and Steven Andrew Lasher, Jr., MD, the director of palliative medicine at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco and the medical director of two hospice programs in the bay area. Their combined experience provides caregivers with a comprehensive guide to one of the most difficult and confusing times in their lives.

This book is informative, thought provoking, and necessary, offering sound advice to caregivers and their loved ones. I intend to have several copies on hand to pass on to the caregivers that seek my advice.
