This sensitive and compassionate book provides older people who are
nearing the end of life and their loved ones, as well as the
professionals who work with them, with a greater depth of
understanding of spiritual issues surrounding death and dying.
Illustrated with the experiences of many older people, it explores
important themes such as grief and loss; fear; pain, distress and
suffering; acceptance; transcendence; prayer; the healing of
relationships; and intimacy, and shows that the final journey
towards death can be one of the most spiritually meaningful times
in the life of an older person - a time in which there is still
hope, and in which the person who is dying and their loved ones can
grow spiritually, strengthened by the difficult times they face
together. Spiritual issues for older people with dementia who are
nearing the end of life are also explored, as are ethical and moral
issues in death and dying, and the ways in which bereaved partners
and relatives may come to terms with the loss of a loved one. This
concise and accessible book will be a valuable resource for those
in the caring professions and a rich source of guidance and support
for older people who are nearing the end of life and their
families.
