In this straightforward guide, the author gives useful and valuable information. It is a helpful aid for anyone involved with the elderly. It presents the journey from home to care home to death, with all the complex aspects, in a sensitive and clear way. It tackles many difficult subjects - entering a nursing home, loss of independence and bereavement compassion. As a professional death and grief counsellor, I have had the privilege of accompanying many wonderful people on their way to their final journey. Above all, I hope my experiences should be of help to (caring) relatives in order to walk this last path together with respect and dignity, sharing my knowledge to make the dying process less frightening.
