Death is daunting. Part of the antidote for fear is information. In this collection of 13 Aging Well posts, you will find guidance on practical matters, such as how to bring in hospice, what to expect during a death at home, how to honor end-of-life wishes, and what it costs to die in Wake County.
This collection also features the spiritual traditions associated with different local faith groups, including Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu and Muslim, as they face death. Hospice Chaplain Heather Doss also provides non-ecumenical comfort and rituals.
