Hi everyone. I've been scouring these boards trying to find a post. It mentioned a book on the topic of what to say, or things to say to your family when you are dying. I can't find the post and can't find any book quite like that on Amazon. I regret not taking a screen shot of it when I saw it. I'm assuming it was on the Stage IV forum.

Does anyone recall that post? I'd love to take a look at that book if I can find it.

Many thanks,

Carol

    I am not sure if I saw here but this is quite popular: “shit you'll need when I'm gone"

    I am trying to find it on Amazon, will edit to add once I found.

    Oops, I thought I responded, but here goes again. Thank you, Snow-drop, that's not actually the book I was wanting. I did look at that one (Shit You'll Need When I'm Gone) and it had some good information. I've started a few lists for my husband with "Stuff to Know".

    The book I thought I saw was (I believe) something along the lines of the conversations we can have with our family members about the progression of our disease and our thoughts and wishes about when we're just too tired to fight any more.

    I have a few notes on my computer about some of those thoughts, but I was curious to see what this book might have to offer.

    Thanks again :)

    oh you welcome sunshine, I hope I could help with the one you are looking for. I bet the book you wanted is an interesting one, now I am curious so I'll keep an eye on this thread, hopefully someone pops in with the right information soon. Edited: I delete the pic, my previous post, in case not to hurt ad policy.
