This book introduces a process-based, patient-centered approach to
palliative care that substantiates an indication-oriented treatment
and radical reconsideration of our transition to death. Drawing on
decades of work with terminally ill cancer patients and a trove of
research on near-death experiences, Monika Renz encourages
practitioners to not only safeguard patients' dignity as they die
but also take stock of their verbal, nonverbal, and metaphorical
cues as they progress, helping to personalize treatment and realize
a more peaceful death. Renz divides dying into three parts:
pre-transition, transition, and post-transition. As we die, all
egoism and ego-centered perception fall away, bringing us to
another state of consciousness, a different register of
sensitivity, and an alternative dimension of spiritual
connectedness. As patients pass through these stages, they offer
nonverbal signals that indicate their gradual withdrawal from
everyday consciousness. This transformation explains why emotional
and spiritual issues become enhanced during the dying process.
Relatives and practitioners are often deeply impressed and feel a
sense of awe. Fear and struggle shift to trust and peace; denial
melts into acceptance. At first, family problems and the need for
reconciliation are urgent, but gradually these concerns fade. By
delineating these processes, Renz helps practitioners grow more
cognizant of the changing emotions and symptoms of the patients
under their care, enabling them to respond with the utmost respect
for their patients' dignity.
