A wonderful book by a former Director of Sydney St Vincents Hospice. Dr Barbato writes sensitively about the emotional and practical issues of caring for and visiting a loved one who is dying. Medication is explained as well as pain management. The section on the emotional impact on both the dying and those who are carers is enormously helpful. I have given this book to several people who are experiencing the imminent death of a loved one and it has always been found to be invaluable. My sincere thanks to Dr Barbato for sharing his wisdom and knowledge. It has been a wonderful gift to so many.
