'Life is a journey, and so is end of life and we can prepare for it
in the same way as we would prepare for any journey, making sure
that all loose ends are tied up'. Once a taboo subject, end of life
is becoming a 'red-hot' topic as more people realize that the care
and arrangements for their own end of life are in their own hands.
In addition, new government initiatives in respect of carers and
caring and of dementia care are bringing the subject to the fore.
This essential guide for carers, be they professional or friends
and relations, provides information across a range of concerns
surrounding end of life. The book tackles this difficult subject in
a practical and caring way, showing how appropriate arrangements
can be made to ensure the dying person's wishes about dying and
post-death (funerals or celebrations of life and mourning
ceremonies) are carried out. From the practical point of view, the
book covers making a Will, making an Advance Directive, donating
body tissue and organs and giving directions for ones own funeral
or life celebration and/or memorial service. From an emotional view
point the book discusses grief including anticipatory grief, ways
of coping with grief, and the importance of grieving. While
invaluable for general readers facing these difficult issues, the
book will be of specific interest to carers in residential/nursing
homes and in hospitals together with counsellors, palliative care
workers and teachers and students on courses in Health and Social
Care and Nursing.
