People die in stages of months, weeks, days and hours. "Learning How to Let Go” is a classic, written to reduce fear, and understand dying. It is in use around the world.
Mary Beth's family friendly approach helps you appreciate ways loved ones communicate their needs, resolve spiritual pain, reveal feelings, even curate their own final moments.
No one teaches us what to expect at the end of life. Most of us have no idea what is a ‘natural’death because it looks so unnatural to us.
This will help you understand the process. God bless you and your loved one.
