WAITING TO DIE. For the Terminally ill and their Families. This program is dedicated to those special people we were fortunate to meet and who shared with us their most intimate reflections, feelings (joyful & sad) and final moments on this earth. People who for obvious reasons shall remain anonymous saw a need for the creation of a program such as this. It is never easy to accept the fact that you are going to die eventually but when you are told that you have an incurable disease and you will die sooner than later shock, sadness and depression are just some of the symptoms that occur within. For some family members it will be shattering news and in some cases they are likely to be more effected by it emotionally long after the individual has passed on. When someone is terminally ill they often have mood swings from time to time which is to be expected and do not like to be pampered or waited on every minute of the day there may also be days when all they want to do is talk. The most important thing we have experienced while providing homecare for terminally ill individuals is that they appreciate honesty and have no time for sympathy or idle chatter This program covers such topics as: 1.Discovery and Reaction. 2.Acceptance. 3.Learning to Cope. 4.Peace of Mind. 5.Moving On.
