As we discussed, here are some Facebook groups that should be helpful for laypersons and medical professionals who do not currently work in hospice.

End of Life Care and Bereavement: “Barbara Karnes, award-winning end of life educator and award-winningnurse, wrote "The Hospice Blue Book," GONE FROM MY SIGHT, among others. Barbara has now created a personal forum where she answers your questions and offers education from her extraordinary knowledge on all areas of end of life care and bereavement.”
