About the Book:
Demystifying Hospice: The Secrets to Navigating End-of-Life Care is a book that candidly describes the “nuts and bolts” of giving care to hospice patients. Writing with 20 years of experience as a hospice nurse, author Barbara Petersen delivers powerful and necessary information as well as some uncomfortable truths about the process and the business behind it. A valuable and accessible resource for families and all levels of caregivers of hospice patients, this book helps everyone know what to expect and how to better help these patients during their final months, weeks, or days.
Vicki’s Review:
We tend to not look for resources until we need them, which proved a flawed way of doing things when I needed info on end-of-life care for both of my parents. I wish I’d had this book then. It would have spared me a lot of anxiety and worry!
This is the most user-friendly book of its kind I’ve come across. The chapters are stand-alone, meaning, you don’t have to read everything that comes before what you’re looking for what you are looking for to make sense. That, I find, to be a huge blessing.
Barbara Petersen’s knowledge and experience shines light on the practical. She writes with passion and compassion and offers the rest of us, for whom this time is confusing and honestly intimidating, much needed information so that we can feel more comfortable and confident in doing our best for our loved ones. Well done—and highly recommended!
