"Family Dynamics of Death and Dying," with Susan Crane, Social Worker.

Family dynamics seldom change because a person is dying, but an imminent death may bring healing to relationships, not only between the deceased and family members, but also among the family members themselves. During this emotionally charged time, you can help by being sensitive to others and focusing on existing strengths in relationships while allowing room for change.

Renewed relationships, along with the opportunity to witness the transformation that takes place as a loved one prepares for death, are the things that lead many to describe the death and dying of someone close to them as one of the most spiritual moments in life. As you walk with your friend on this final journey, reflect on the gift of the time you are sharing, and help him to live his remaining days to the fullest.
