Reactions to friends and other family members can be bewildering and hard to accept. Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross is known for her research and strategies of care for the dying. She determined that terminally ill patients and family members, who are losing or have lost a loved one, go through several stages of grief.

Withdrawal: The person may seem unresponsive, withdrawn, or in a coma-like state. This indicates preparation for release, a detaching from surroundings and relationships, and a beginning of “letting go.”

Vision-Like Experiences: Your loved one may speak or claim to have spoken to persons who have already died, or have seen places not visible to you.

In most states it is legal for family and friends to care for their own dead. Backwoods Home Magazine, May/June 1992 has an article on the subject, “Walking that last mile with your loved one…a guide to caring for your own dead.”

In Lisa Carlson’s book Caring For Your Own Dead, she writes that this can be one of the most meaningful ways to say goodbye to someone you love.

Coolness: The person's hands, arms, feet and legs maybe more cool to touch and at the same time, the skin color may change. The underside of the body may be darker and appear in different shades of blue or purple. This is a normal sign that circulation of blood is decreasing to these areas and is being reserved for the more vital areas. Keep the person warm with a blanket.

If the sad day comes when a loved one is diagnosed with a terminal illness don't be scared of helping them to fullfill their wish to die at home.

If your plans are mentioned only in a will, the will may not be read until long after other arrangements have been made. Make sure your family knows what your wishes are.

Shop around in advance. Compare prices from at least two funeral homes. Remember that you can supply your own casket or urn.

Ask for a price list. The law requires funeral homes to give you written price lists for products and services.

Resist pressure to buy goods and services you don't really want or need.

Avoid emotional overspending.

Many people don't realize that they are not legally required to use a funeral home to plan and conduct a funeral. However, because they have little experience with the many details and legal requirements involved and may be emotionally distraught when it's time to make the plans, many people find the services of a professional funeral home to be a comfort.
