Preparing for Death, Coping With Grief

This booklet was created in an effort to help explain the dying process and the emotions that may accompany the grieving process. It includes sections on the physical and emotional changes of a person nearing death; a description of the grieving process; a checklist of things to do following the death of a loved one; a section on various mortuaries in the area; and listings of community resources and suggested readings.
