End of Life: Ease the Transition from Life to Death

from Help Choose Home · host Merrily Orsini

Although death is an experience that we all share, it is a topic that is largely taboo, and for which people are often wholly unprepared. Barbara Karnes, RN, an award-winning end of life educator and author, is working to change that taboo. According to Karnes, 90% of end of life care work is education. From educating the doctors and nurses to educating the home health caregivers and family caregivers, it's important for everyone to understand that taking care of someone at the end of life is different than taking care of someone who will get better.
