As we live longer and die slower and differently than our
ancestors, we have come to rely more and more on end-of-life
caregivers. These workers navigate a changing landscape of old age
and death that many of us have little preparation to encounter.
"How We Die Now" is an absorbing and sensitive investigation of
end-of-life issues from the perspectives of patients, relatives,
medical professionals, and support staff. Karla Erickson immersed
herself in the daily life of workers and elders in a Midwestern
community for over two years to explore important questions around
the theme of "how we die now." She moves readers through and beyond
the many fears that attend the social condition of old age and
reveals the pleasures of living longer and the costs of slower,
sometimes senseless ways of dying. For all of us who are grappling
with the "elder boom," "How We Die Now" offers new ways of thinking
about our longer lives.
