What to Expect Before Death

  • The Dying Process: A Guide for Caregivers  
    This guide is intended for anyone who is caring for a dying person. It discusses both the physical symptoms of dying and the psychological issues that accompany the dying process. 
  • Signs of Approaching Death 
    Sometimes caregivers do not know how to tell when their patient or loved one is dying. But patients often tend to show specific symptoms when they are nearing death. This handout describes many of these symptoms.
  • Advance Directives
    HFA has received many requests for information on advance directives. An excellent place to begin is at the website of the National Association of Attorneys General.
