Clearing the Path is a collection of clinical stories that
illustrate practical, applicable communication tools for
professionals in work with end-of-life patients and families. These
vignettes from practice demonstrate how impending death, death
itself, and the loss of a relationship affect the lives and grief
of both patients and survivors. Written 13 years after its
companion volume The Weeping Willow, the book brings even more
complex encounters and nuanced emotions from additional years of
experience in the field. The stories are woven in with the
counseling process, thought process, and dilemmas of the counselor.
Each story is then followed by "Notes to the Practitioner" with
clear, practical and professional advice on navigating various
communication issues and end with "Conclusions" which are short
summaries of each vignette's teachings. At the end of each chapter
the reader will find recent, annotated references for those who
wish to read more about the topic. Chapters provide new, in-depth
tools for dealing with death, grief, and loss from both the griever
and the counselor or medical professional's perspective. What is
unique to this book is the insight into the authentic human
emotions experienced by both counselors and clients in these
encounters with dying and grieving, making it useful for both the
caregivers and the recipients of end-of-life care. Acknowledging
that communication is individual and dependent on all the involved
parties, these stories were selected to demonstrate many ways of
communication through a range of situations, as well as the various
attitudes, harmful and helpful, revealed in responses from people
surrounding the patient or griever. Clearing the Path is not a
conventional "how- to" book and it aims instead to teach by example
from the hands-on counseling experiences of two experts who have
worked in the field of field of death and dying, grieving and loss
with responsibility and care. For professionals at all levels of
experience those looking to navigate the difficulties of
end-of-life care, this is the perfect guide.
