Amazon.com Review
On his deathbed, faced with creditors and unpaid bills, Oscar Wilde said despairingly, "I am dying beyond my means!" If only the poor, beleaguered genius had read this book! None of us gets out of here alive, but reading this book will lessen your fear of the ultimate end and give you some guidance about enjoying your life to the fullest right up until your final moment. Do people really enjoy life in the face of death? People do. The stories of individuals in Dr. Byock's book will move and inspire you to change your feelings about the end of your life, and also your feelings about your life in the present.

Books to Own, 2010-01-09
You need to own this book regardless of your age. It is a given we are going to die and hopefully the goal is to die well. This book has that type of information using hospice services.

 Wasn't what I expected..., 2009-11-17
This book was not quite what I expected. Was hoping for a little more advise on helping a loved one through the dying process. Some good stories.

Great information about what to expect, 2009-08-28
This book provided great information about what to expect from the end of life. It reduced the fear and panic I was feeling about my mother's expected passing. It helped me prepare emotionally.

Dying Well, 2008-11-27
I had this book as a textbook for a class and what I can tell you is this: If you're going into counseling, particular into hospice counseling, this book is for you. The stories will make you cry and give you an in depth understanding of the dying process and how to be the most effective and empathetic counseling support. If you're not going into the field, I still recommend it as it will help you cope with a loved one dealing with the process or has passed on. This is a MUST buy!
