`There is much to learn about easing suffering from John's
reflective narrative. The journal is both evocative and
illuminating. The attention given to individuals patients
experiences and to the manner in which practitioners can help to
relieve suffering is the main strength of the book' -Journal of
Advanced Nursing `Christopher Johns has written an exquisite book
detailing the experience of being a palliative care nurse. He has
taken a unique approach in chronicling his practice through a
journal, which serves a model for the reader on reflective
practice. Johns' book is insightful on several levels. He offers a
poignant book about the practice of palliative care, which will
certainly evoke deep feelings and memories for many who have cared
for dying patients. The narrative serves a model for reflective
practice for students and practitioners alike who wish to explore
this method of research and self-inquiry. John also, as the
postscript writer describe, addresses some of the lessons that can
be learned in palliative care work, the importance of living in the
moment, and acknowledgement of the constantly changing nature of
life.' - Mary L. Wilby, MSN, CRNP, La Salle University School of
Nursing `Chris Johns has produced a book that is, I believe, unique
in the field of nursing practice. In his personal and philosophical
reflections on palliative care he pin-points...the very essence of
nursing practice... This text should be at the heart not only of
nursing but also the way in which we should live our lives.' -
Denise Rankin-Box, Editor in Chief, Complementary Therapies in
Nursing and Midwifery Written by an experienced palliative care
nurse, trainer, and complementary therapist, Being Mindful, Easing
Suffering is an essential resource for professionals working with
the seriously ill and the dying. Chris Johns describes how he has
combined traditional medical, and more reflective models in his
palliative practice, enabling him to work mindfully to alleviate
physical and non-physical pain and suffering throughout the
health-illness cycle. With reference to ideas from Buddhist
philosophy around compassion and reflective knowing, this important
book shows how the core task of those working in palliative care is
to nurture the spiritual growth and development of their patients
and, in turn, themselves.
