I have been off the site for a while because I had to go to Louisiana this past December to help my brother in the last stages of his cancer. He died on Christmas day. I was by his side, with only a few hours of sleep each day, for the last month. Hospice gave us a book very similar to this video and it helped me tremendously in dealing with the stages of death and his final passing. No, it's not easy, but the hospice crew gave me an opportunity to give back to a brother who was always there for me when I was growing up. It's tough to lose someone when they're only 60, but I know he didn't die alone, and I kept the pain away as best I could. The nurses encouraged me and supported me, and will forever be in my memory. Everyone should watch this video. Knowing really does help us get through this, and we can also help the dying let go gracefully.
