Are there books you've read in order to help you cope with the death of a patient? Or any other suggestions for coping? :crying2:

Of course each death is different. It sometimes depend on the circumstances.

But overall, it requires faith... the patient is in a better place . If you believe, it Was God's plan.

I don't have any book suggestions....After seeing so many people have to survive in terrible situations, I remind myself that there are things worse than death....being alive, and living aren't the same thing :)
