Journey's End

We attempt to describe real life issues and circumstances and we discuss ways to proactively deal with them. Useful training resource and reference material is also included.</p><p>Death dying and end of life are topics many prefer to avoid. This book suggests that we benefit from having frank discussions living life to the fullest and planning for our own journey’s end whenever that may be. Everyone who is born eventually will die whether or not we want to embrace that fact. </p><p>****</p><p>Though few of us know when we will die we and our family or friends can be well prepared. We can have discussions and create written directives for what we want if we are unable to verbally state them ourselves. Do we want life support? Do we want interventions that may or may not have any benefit to our quality of life if we are in the hospital or in an accident? Do we want to be involved in planning our funeral memorial or celebration of life?</p><p>The submissions within are from professionals in the field of death and bereavement support and from laypeople all of whom share stories of dying family members friends clients and patients. Julie and Victoria the coauthors of this book also share stories from their personal and professional experiences.
