Death and Dying
This breaks my heart, i'm sorry for the terminal condition.

I'm not sure if in hospice etc and if the nurses have not given you one yet they still may, but if not

I cannot stress how helpful this was while watching somebody die. Went through two losses this year and am facing another one here soon. Cancer sucks.
And yup, now i'm crying, man I'd like to say it gets easier, it does but at the same time it does not.
Fuck cancer, just fuck it.
I went from a cardiac telemetry unit to become a hospice nurse. Your best bet would be to shadow a hospice nurse for a day or two. https://www.amazon.com/Gone-My-Sight-Dying-Experience/dp/B00072HSCY/ref=sr_1_3?crid=O16MF0HGYAZZ&keywords=barbara+karnes+end+of+life+guideline+series&qid=1570930886&sprefix=barbara+karns%2Caps%2C158&sr=8-3 is among the best, short, books out there, and it is what I and others of our staff often share with families.
IMO, the best book is called: "Gone From My Sight" by Barbara Karnes, which you can get here:

It's a very small book, and only costs $2. I think you can get it cheaper if you buy in bulk from the author's website. I call it the little blue book of death.
I work as a hospice social worker and the book literally explains what the family members should expect to see and hear as their family member is passing away... it talks about how they stop eating, and why, and how their breathing changes as does their responsiveness. I cannot more highly recommend this book. I gave it to all of my families and almost all of them responded favorably.
