Individuals facing death may not know how to express the range of
emotions, questions, and discoveries they experience. At the same
time, family members, friends, and even professional caregivers may
be uncertain as to whether and how to broach the subject of death
and dying. Now a unique resource, Facing Death: A Companion in
Words and Images, can help open the door to meaningful
conversation, reminiscence, and reflection at the end of life. In
addition to aiding communication, this combination of contemplative
text and evocative images will provide comfort, guidance, and even
hope to readers. Concise messages offer helpful advice and
thoughtful inspiration, as well as validation of common feelings.
Breathtaking nature photographs add depth and meaning to the text
but also stand alone as a source of comfort. Drawing upon a variety
of spiritual traditions and standard psychological approaches, this
book enriches the final days and weeks of life. Emotional,
spiritual, and psychological needs are addressed in a way that is
accessible and broadly applicable. With its extra pages for
personal notes, pictures, and mementos, the book will also become a
valued keepsake after a loved one's death. Developed by a former
pastoral and supportive care professional, Facing Death provides a
source of support and self therapy for dying individuals. The book
is an invaluable resource for visiting family members and friends,
and a useful tool for counselors, social workers, nurses,
physicians, chaplains, and volunteers at hospices, hospitals, and
nursing homes.
