Dying 101:: A Candid Conversation on Terminal Illness

The update of the bestselling guide.

Readers will find themselves caught up in a clear and fascinating conversation based on care-receivers’ and -givers’ experiences points of view. The information was received by the authors as facilitators, counselors, and patients over many years from therapy/support groups and individuals with terminal illness, their signifiant others, families, and friends. The book has been written to pass along this information so that others might fully live their lives without needlessly paying the high cost others have already paid.Dyin 101: provides insight on how to help live life to it’s fullest for those living with a long-term, life-threatening or terminal Illness (such as Cancer, Lupus, AIDS, “Lou Gehrig’s' diseasese, Cystic Fibrosis, Chronic Hepatitis, M. S., Parkinson’, and other chronic, degenerative diseases).
