By Stanley A. Terman, PhD, MD
Life Transitions Publications

Can you maximize end-of-life pleasure? Yes, but fear of death makes us reluctant to discuss dying. Advanced Dementia is a ”closet-within-the-closet”: few people talk about dementia; even fewer discuss what it is like to die in its end-stage. The goal of this book is to attain timely, peaceful transitions, starting with a Living Will that can effectively avoid both PREMATURE DYING and PROLONGED DYING with unnecessary pain. This book shows how planning CAN maximize pleasure and reduce suffering–for yourself and loved ones–for any terminal illness.
