Gone From My Sight: The Dying Experience
“Gone From My Sight is a gift to all those seeking to understand death and the dying process. It is a valuable resource to both hospice staff and those they serve. We receive rave reviews from family members about The Hospice Blue Book that demystifies the stages of dying and leaves them feeling more prepared, and at ease, as their loved ones’ lives come to a close. Barbara Karnes, RN writes with great clarity and simplicity and this book is proof positive - good things come in small packages.” - Betty Oldanie, RN, BSN, MS, Vice President of Planning, Suncoast Hospice
What are the signs of dying? Death from disease doesn't just occur; there is a process. People die in stages of months, weeks, days, and hours. Having this knowledge will help address the fear of death and dying that most of us bring to the bedside of a person who is dying.

Once Again...
This book had a profound impact on me when my husband was in hospice care many years ago. We are now faced with my sister's decline and I bought copies for all of our immediate family. It is reassuring to know what to expect and to understand the journey our loved ones are taking.
