Elisabeth Kübler-Ross has written much about it and her books are worthy of reading...

(I stayed with my husband as he died and also my step-father as he was dying) ...while you can, if he is near the end, touch him and talk to him even if you don't think he's hearing or feeling...

there is no one good book or way of coping with grief... we are all different... I just needed to be alone, others need to talk it out

mostly, be very gentle with yourself
