Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

This volume offers practical advice about Jewish traditions and customs for families facing difficult choices at the end of life. Physicians, scholars, and experienced chaplains write chapters that provide medical information and apply Jewish moral perspectives to the many decisions that individuals, professionals, and families must make as death approaches. The guide covers such topics as technologies used in end-stage medical interventions, documents and advance conversations that can aid the family later, managing key relationships with professionals, challenges accompanying diagnosis, approaches to pain and suffering, hospice and end-of-life care, when to end a life, and death and mourning.
