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.

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.”
