Publisher's summary

Want to learn more about caring for someone at end of life? Discover the End of Life Guideline Series by Barbara Karnes. It is a compilation of five of our most popular hospice and palliative care books that prepares its listeners for the natural, normal process of dying and grief.

The series includes, A Time to Live: Living with a Life Threatening Illness, for the newly diagnosed facing a life limiting illness. It addresses issues of comfort, nutrition, and sleep as they relate to the palliative care patient. It provides guidance to help them live the best life they can within the confines of their body and disease. Gone From My Sight: The Dying Experience with over 35 million copies sold, the "Hospice Blue Book" is the most beloved and widely used resource of its kind. This booklet guides the family through the stages of the dying process over months, weeks, days, and hours.

The Eleventh Hour: A Caring Guideline For the Hours to Minutes Before Death explains what to do and how to care for your loved one during the end of life process. Pain at End of Life: What You Need to Know About End of Life Comfort and Pain Management is intended for families and professionals dealing with narcotics and pain management as end of life approaches. Addresses fear of overdosing and addiction, around the clock administration, standardized dosages, uses of morphine, and more.

My Friend, I Care: The Grief Experience addresses the normal process of grief while offering suggestions for moving forward into living. Like all of Barbara's work, the information is conveyed in a simple, direct yet gentle manner. You can find comfort in these books even years after the death of a loved one, as we often have unresolved questions and concerns. Listen here.

Vital Information

I heard this pamphlet series recommended on the Ologies podcast by a scholar of death and dying. It is evident that the scholar recommended these readings because they are so clear, honest, accessible, and compassionate. I have a loved one who is in the process of dying, and I very much appreciate the insights in this collection of little books.
