Welcome to my Death, Dying and Grief Counseling Final Project!

The topic of death can be an extremely difficult subject to begin thinking about. For many of us putting it off until the very last moment is the less painful course of action. We often wait until our health may be too compromised to make sound decisions for ourselves and our family. When confronted with a someone you know who is dying, maybe a loved one or maybe the loved one of a friend, it can sometimes be difficult to separate the emotional strain associated with the grieving process with the responsibilities of ensuring proper after death care.

This website is designed to be to be a resource guide for individuals and families in need of guidance in the areas of: Advance Directives, Local and National Hospice Organizations and Types of After Death Arraignments.

To use this site simply click on a page you are interested in navigating. Each page offers a description of the topic as well as links to very useful websites.

 

For Additional Help:  Hospice Organizations

Hospice programs work to give support and care to the terminally ill so they can die pain free and with dignity. It's roots lie in medieval times when it meant  "a place of shelter and rest for weary or ill travelers on a long journey". In modern times hospice as an end of life care program began in London in 1967. Today it serves many thousands of people and families.
