Praise for Someone I love is Dying by Jeanne Sedun

Praise for Someone I love is Dying by Jeanne Sedun

This is a richly detailed volume about all the things a person needs to know before, during and after a loved one’s death – things no one wants to think about ahead of the terminal diagnosis. The premise here is that there is some warning of the impending death, but even if not, there are many smart and helpful tips on how to proceed even if the death is unexpected . . . Set up in a dual-column format, the text explores many of the pragmatic things a person needs to know involving the mourning and post-mourning process.

If you’ve ever had to face the potentially terminal illness of a parent or other loved one, you will know how challenging it is to manage the many pressing practical issues even while you are grappling with powerful emotional ones. Anyone who finds themselves in this place will find enormous comfort and practical guidance in Someone I love is dying.

Jeanne Sedun treats this difficult subject with honesty, sensitivity and clarity. She provides examples, checklists and forms to guide the reader through tasks they will need to face, and in so doing eases the way. This book should be on the shelf of everyone who is dealing with, or may have to deal with, a loved one who is dying.

For many, supporting someone through their end of life journey means travelling with them on a difficult, twisting road that is poorly marked.  On this road our usual driving and navigation skills can easily fall short.  At long last, Jeanne Sedun has created a guide for this journey that illuminates the road in very practical ways.  Someone I love is Dying fills the void of information by clearly laying out what needs to be done as this journey is made.  It is a must read for everyone supporting a loved one at the end of their life.
