Most people are afraid of death. But if you understand the process of dying, you will be more comfortable at life’s end. Autumn of life: A Guide to Aging and Dying was written by a hospice professional to open minds and hearts to a new way of understanding the process that we will all go through. The book answers some of the most basic questions, and it can serve as a resource for doctors, nurses, clergy, social workers, caregivers, and anyone who deals with hospice care or the death of a loved one. If you’ve ever been around someone who is dying, their fears and worries can be very scary. If their questions aren’t answered, their fear can become panic. Says the author, “I’ve worked in hospice for over 13 years and there is a lot of information in the book that is from my own experience.”
