Dr.
Byock has been instrumental in developing Reclaiming the End of
Life, a
non-partisan Initiative
that will use the 2007 New Hampshire primary campaign as a means
of capturing national attention to the plight of frail elders, dying
people and family caregivers – and to potential solutions to this
national crisis.
Stay tuned for details and the launch of a dedicated website.

Dr. Byock has added this new area
to this web site excerpted from Dying Well. He hopes it will be of
value.

The Four Things That Matter Most
"Please
forgive me. I forgive you. Thank you. I love you."
These four simple statements are a powerful
tool for easing suffering of people facing life's end - themselves or a
loved one - and preparing to say "Good-bye." They are about cleaning
up and "becoming current" in our relationships with the people in our
lives who matter most.
