This book comes out of an in-depth, qualitative study of the
experiences of twenty-three families in which one parent was dying
of cancer. The study attempted to better understand the impact of
terminal illness on the entire family system and sought to develop
a theoretical framework that would guide the assessment of and
services to such families. As a result of interviews with patients,
spouses and their adult children over three phases of the study,
the process of ""fading away"" was identified and conceptualized in
terms of various phases which contributed to this process. The book
is not a research report but rather presents more generally the
ideas that developed from the study, with two purposes: to increase
the reader's understanding of particular experiences that families
encounter when dealing with terminal illness, specifically cancer.
The intended readership also includes families themselves: to
propose guidelines for care to be considered by practitioners
working with such families.
