Divided into two sections, Part One addresses each patient symptom or challenge by topic for quick reference, and Part Two addresses these concerns from a chronological timeline so that family members have an idea of what to expect from the dying process. Educating oneself alleviates fear and anxiety related to end-of-life status changes and increases caregiver confidence. Regardless of culture or background, Nature Gave Us Butterflies, Standard Edition addresses common questions from families while providing gentle, yet straightforward information. This end-of-life care booklet is a tool that your entire family will refer to often to gain insight into the end-of-life experience.
