The Amazon Store at MillionDollarPetPix.com ( In association with Amazon.com )Final Gifts: Understanding the Special Awareness, Needs, and Communications of the Dying - Final Gifts: Understanding the Special Awareness, Needs, and Communications of the DyingThis is one of the finest books to help you understand the dying process both on helping the dying person and helping yourself. Rating: - Help for Caregivers of DyingMy sister-in-law asked for this book when her son-in-law was recently killed in a motorcycle accident. I've ordered 3 or 4 and they give so much insight into what a dying patient is feeling - very reassuring and comforting to the loved ones. Rating:  - Caution - Liberal Views on Death and Dying Ahead!I recently read this book while providing in home hospice care to a dying relative. The book did identify, almost to an exact point, the symptoms which the relative I am caring for was experiencing. It falls short in its attempt to really explain WHY the person dying was experiencing the symptoms presented in the book. As a Christian believer, I found the book to be ver liberal in its presentation of what the author calls Near Death Awareness. The examples scatted throughout the book are from all walks of life and all religious backgrounds, and as such there is a common thread offered here: All people dying will not be alone at death, someone will be there waiting for them on the "other side". From a Christian worldview, one will quickly start to see that the author is painting a picture that it really does not matter if one believes in Christ, Buddha, Mohamed, Satan or the Easter Bunny to be welcomed by a loving presence. One needs to remember that there is only one way to God (heaven), and that is through Christ Jesus. The book overall, is a good read and touching at times, but I would recommend that Christians remember that this is written from a non-Christian viewpoint. Take the opportunity to share with those you love, tell someone you love them, and most importantly, do not wait until someone is dying to bring comfort to them. Rating: - Final Gifts prepares you well for the dying experienceFinal Gifts is a thorough look at what to expect and prepare for with a loved one who is dying. Advice on how to deal with situations is so helpful. It gave me comfort in understanding the process and removed my anxiety on situations I was experiencing and did not know how to deal with. This book was so helpful in making my loved one comfortable as they were declining. I highly recommend Final Gift and have given the book to friends who are experiencing the same situation. Rating: - A Real GiftFor anyone who works with Hospice,or the elderly, or who have family members on hospice care, it is an invaluable book. To learn about the communications of a dying person, and their needs to die in peace, it can radically transform the dying experience for the person and their loved ones from one of sadness to one of sacred beauty. Not to read it, could mean missing out on the important signs our loved ones give us, as they are leaving us or hinder our understanding of what they are trying to convey. I highly recommend this book.
