N2  - This book has been written to help anyone who is dying, and their family and carers. The terminal stages of life are like all the rest, in being times for people to live through as richly as they can - but many special practicalities are likely to arise. Drawing on years of experience in hospice care and counselling, Sue Wood and Peter Fox discuss what they and others have found happening in the final stages of illness - what the dying person can expect, what others have found important to do - and generally how to respond positively and practically to the challenges of this difficult journey
