A Note from the Author

“There are many incredible challenges for families who are caring for a loved one with a terminal illness.

Your head is telling you one thing, while your heart is often telling you another. There are so many issues that you have to understand and adjust to in such a short amount of time, that it is very hard to keep up.

As a hospice social worker, I always wanted an easy to understand book that families could use as a practical resource to review at their own pace and share with others in the extended family.

That ongoing need was the inspiration for this book.”

Larry E. Quicksall, LCSW
Author of “We Need to Talk”
