You are not the only one who has wondered
Death & dying: these are somber, scary or secretive subjects. People who want forthright answers have come to the right place. Barbara talks about both in response to their questions. One parent in particular tells about grief upon grief. Barbara validates the heartache, then offers an alternative, heartfelt response. I found thoughts that related to my feelings about my own responses during my Grandmother's final hour of life under the subtitle: the Death Rattle. Barbara reduces the emotional suffering caused by answers in scientific medical-ese, evading the issue of impending death, or just plain inaccurate replies. Real people asked those questions she addresses. Real people, looking for real answers, will find them in "Knowledge Reduces Fear" from BK Books.

Satisfied Customer
I ordered the new booklets #1 and #2. I just finished #1. There is no practice run nor rehearsal of the "death script". These publications are very informative, easy to understand and priceless. They are a must for everyone as we all walk this journey. All the other booklets have been very helpful for me. I am a senior widow and this education has helped me to be a support to others.
