Beschreibung

Hardback. Signed and dated by the author on title page. The author explores how care of the dying is changing, how hospices can offer a real quality of life to those with a terminal illness, while helping family and friends to come to terms with the situation. He also gives details of encouraging new approaches to funerals and bereavement. Basing the book on interviews with health professionals, those facing death, and the bereaved, he relates individual stories to a wider social, ethical and medical problems. Some of the stories recall painful experiences, but they also show people's resillience and courage. What shines through is the idea that more pro-active we are, the better our experiences of dying and grieving will be. 310 pp.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
