Preparing for End Of Life
    Many caregivers have expressed a desire for information about the process of death when their loved one is near end of life or a decision has been made to cease fighting the cancer.   It's natural for caregivers to wonder how they will recognize when death is near and what to expect as their loved one passes.   It is important to remember that death comes to each person uniquely and although many people share many of the same traits during the dying process, you cannot assume that what you read of others experience will be identical for your loved one.   Accept the information provided on this page as a guide of what could happen with your loved one, not what will happen.
