When a Loved One Is Dying…
Welcome to author Maureen Groden’s webpage.
When you’re caring for a loved one at the end of life, there are often more questions than answers:
How long do they have to live?
Should we come now or later?
What should we do?
This book will help you understand what happens when someone is dying and how to care for them.
You can purchase my book at the following places:

“A realistic, rich, and comforting resource for people coming together in the face of end-of-life experiences. Groden's personal devotion to helping people understand and engage in the complex circumstances of serious illness is evident. She shares accurate information side by side with emotional and thoughtful reflections. An essential collection of caring stories!”
William Haley, PhD, University of South Florida
“All too many American families think that hospice is 'giving up.' These stories accurately show the compassion and breadth of concerns that hospice staff have, including caring about the person, not just as a patient, and for the family as the unit of care.”
