Twenty-five years ago there was no information available for families about the dying process. One woman changed that.

Barbara Karnes, award-winning end of life educator and award-winning nurse, wrote 'The Hospice Blue Book', Gone From My Sight: The Dying Experience.
Observed from the bedside and written in non-medical language for families, her booklet changed the way we experience the death of a loved one.

Knowledge reduces fear.
