Are You Afraid of Dying?

Do you need comfort after the loss a loved one?

Here's hope!

More Than Meets the Eye: True Stories about Death, Dying and Afterlife authored by Yvonne Perry is for people who are facing challenges presented by bereavement. In the book you will find:

  • Information to alleviate the fear of death
  • Comfort for caregivers, friends and family of a person who is near the end of life, or has recently passed
  • Understanding for those who have had a near-death experience and lived to tell about it
  • Insight from Dr. Aaron Milstone, Medical Director of Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Lung Transplant Program about why physicians are ill-equipped to deal with death and are unable to comfort dying patients or their families
  • Why people sense the presence of their loved ones near them during the funeral, graveside ceremony and in the days following
  • Reasons we should address end of life issues with family members.
  • Understanding emotions regarding sorrow, grief, loss and guilt
  • How to tell if death is about to occur for a critically ill patient and how to assist a loved one in gently departing
  • Dealing with the emotional devastation of a loved one's suicide and signs that indicate someone may be suicidal
  • Discussion about euthanasia

There's also a legal copy of a Living Will, also known as an Advanced Healthcare Directive included in the book.
