Death and the act of dying are uneasy subjects to openly discuss; however it is an inevitable process for us all. Dr. Dan Morhaim has been on the front-line for over 30 years educating patients and families of the importance of being prepared when the foreseeable happens through Advance Directives: “either you will dictate how you die or someone else will”. There have been several famous cases in the U.S, where simply having an Advance Directive or Living Will would have lessened the heartache and pain of dying. The most well known example of this would be the Terri Schiavo Story.

While modern Americans strive to control nearly every aspect of their lives, many of us abandon control of life's final passage. But the realities of twenty-first-century medicine will allow most of us to have a say in how, when, and where we die, so we need to make decisions here, too. Through compelling real-life stories and practical guidance, The Better End helps readers navigate end-of-life care for themselves and their loved ones.

The Better End has earned endorsements from writer/poet/educator Maya Angelou, neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson, John Hopkins Dean Dr. Michael Klag, entertainer Montel Williams, and author Wendell Potter.
