If a family member or someone you care about has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, it can be difficult to process what will happen. After a while, many individuals come to terms with the eventual loss they will face. With that, many are forced to examine what loose ends they will need to tie up, from handling legal affairs to developing a support network for themselves and others. Haga Books of Faith invites you to learn more about what you can do to ease this transition with these suggestions in mind.
