"The hospitalization of a loved one that threatens to become or turns terminal triggers the most vulnerable and profound moments of our lives. Managing any hospitalization requires that patient-families know what to expect there. Notes from the Waiting Room provides a comprehensive examination and explanation of circumstances we experience during end-of-life or serious hospitalizations, why we experience them, and what to do in advance to neutralize their destabilizing shocks. Written by a layperson for lay people, Notes from the Waiting Room provides insights that will save your patient-family from angst and heartache that can linger for years afterward in our hearts and souls."-- From the author.
