Books with author Barbara Barnes

The hours to minutes before imminent death are generally filled with fear and helplessness for anyone at the bedside. Fear because we have inaccurate role models from movies and TV and helplessness because there is no "fixing" death. This brings the question, "What do we do?" "The Eleventh Hour" is a booklet that offers information, ideas and support on how to care for a person in the hours to minutes before death and just after. The aim of this booklet is to help those present at the bedside create a meaningful, comforting memory of their loved one's journey from life in this world. For the hands-on-caregiver, family, or professional, "The Eleventh Hour" is a guiding resource. It is appropriate as a textbook for volunteer training in Transitional and Vigil programs, for nursing facilities, and for parish nursing and Hospice/Palliative Care teaching. Most of all, it is for families faced with caring for their loved one in the hours of approaching death. Like its companions, "Gone From My Sight," "My Friend, I Care," and "A Time To Live," "The Eleventh Hour" is written in large print and the information is conveyed in a simple, direct yet gentle manner.

With recipes like Pizza Puffs, Spud Pancakes, Chicken Fajitas, Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes, and Fruit Turnovers, this book proves that everyone can enjoy familiar and delicious food together. After all, it's not about "good," "bad," or "forbidden" foods—it's about readers feeding their families sensibly.
