I just learned about a blog that chronicles the experiences of a woman and her siblings as they help their mother, Bette, face advanced cancer.
In her posts, Lois Kelly offers advice on what to say or do –- and what not to say or do -– to support someone nearing life's end. She encourages people to express their love and admiration for the dying person, to bring over photos for reminiscing, to keep sending cards and notes, and to listen well.
The blog, called "dying to help," is candid and insightful and, at times, even humorous. Check it out here.
