Coping With Events Near Death |

 Introduction
- Overview of events near death
Earlier generations may have had so much experience with dying that
most people knew how to recognize approaching death. When people died
at home, families also knew more about how to deal with the practical
aspects of the time near death. Now, however, this knowledge is just
not commonplace. Many of us have only watched people die on television
or in the movies, neither of which gives us a very realistic view
of the process. This section offers facts and advice to family and
friends. |
