The Diagnosis Is Terminal: What Do We Do Now?

After receiving the bad news of terminal illness, many told the author the first thought they had was “What do we do now?” This prompted the production of The Diagnosis is Terminal. It covers the initial notification, wills, legal suggestions, intensive care, doctor’s notes, record keeping, drugs, oximeter use, CBC spreadsheet construction, sample obituaries, hospice, last care wishes, notes for Christians, final goodbyes, and much more. Included is a checklist, in order, of some 120 activities. This includes after-death actions. None of us know it all.
