And while these achievements have extended the lives of patients, they have not always extended the quality of those lives. As the older population in America skyrockets, more and more people who have received a terminal diagnosis, as well as those who love them, must grapple with the devastating decision of how they will forestall--or face--death. In Dying Made Easy(er) by Myra Bennett, we are guided through the diverse phases and considerations of the end of life by an experienced traveler who's spent many hours "as a guest in the sacred place of the dying." Bennett, a hospice nurse and certified end of life doula, who has also grappled with death in her personal life, invites us to contemplate dying from many different angles: legal, social, physical, psychological, and spiritual. Her Dying Made Easy(er) is both a handbook of pertinent information and a medley of informed suggestions for us to consider when experiencing or sharing the phenomenon that is the end of life. Bennett believes it is imperative that we--as a community--are aware of how to find help when faced with death and dying. In Dying Made Easy(er), she provides the resources to address this pressing need. ​Bennett, who is the co-founder of Compassionate Crossings in Sacramento, has seen it all. She's witnessed the dying process unfold in beautiful ways, with gifts for all involved, and she's seen it devolve into a series of anguished mishaps that leave the family praying for an early transition. As there are no opportunities for rehearsals or do-overs, Bennett is committed to helping us better understand dying as the last--but not the least--chapter of life, and to helping us dream what this chapter might look like. In her warm and wise book, we learn how to turn this dream into a personal reality that will meet not only our deep-felt needs and desires but also those of our family and loved ones. I rated this book 5 *****'s This book is so educational I admit working in a nursing home and saw a dead person while cleaning still scared me sometimes. It is not that I am scared to look at their dead body but I always have nightmares every time. I tried to avoid it if I know that a dead body is still laying on their beds. Getting close to them while working is even harder when they passed away and I cannot fathom the emotions of their families were. This book is a wide-opener for me. It is very educational. I admit am still scared of looking at dead people's body after reading this book. Reading this book is beyond amazing. It helps you in so many ways especially time. All chapters have different topics but very helpful in so many ways. Definitely, one of a kind book to read. I even ask myself if my husband has a will if something happens to both of us. What will our kids do especially they are both teenagers. This book is your best solution and tips are really helpful.
