Practical, emotional, and spiritual guidance
The time may come when you or a loved one has to face a
life-threatening illness; when you realize that you or your loved
one may be dying. It's never easy to think about the last years of
life, but being prepared can help you have your hopes and wishes
realized. By taking the time now to plan for the future, you can
maintain control of your life even at the very end.
Staying in Charge is a supportive guide to opening up the lines of
communication and making life more fulfilling from the first day of
diagnosis of a serious illness. This reassuring handbook helps you
to focus on important matters such as:
* Handling a living will or a do-not-resuscitate order
* Deciding upon medical power of attorney
* Gathering support from friends and family
* And, most significantly, learning to live in the midst of dying
Based on the wisdom of many experts and caregivers in the field,
Staying in Charge offers everything you need to know to make the
last years of life more fruitful, less isolating, and more
comfortable and peaceful-whenever and wherever the journey
occurs.
""Few of us think of our own death with an open heart or a clear
mind. Kaplan and Lukas courageously and compassionately demystify
this unknown part of life with practical and spiritual guidance.
With Staying in Charge, the secret is out: You can plan for death
and, in so doing, learn how to live more fully.""
-Beth Witrogen McLeod, author of Caregiving: The Spiritual Journey
of Love, Loss, and Renewal
""Staying in Charge: Practical Plans for the End of Your Life means
what it says. When it comes time to manage a serious illness, we
all want to be in control. There isn't a person alive who shouldn't
read and absorb the counsel of this valorous-and unexpectedly
cheering-work.""
-Stefan Kanfer, former editor, Time magazine author of Ball of Fire
and A Summer World
