The D-Word is a practical guide to support relatives, friends and
carers who are coping with the distress and anxiety of someone
nearing the end of life, or who has suddenly died.
Today, life-extending treatments have over-ridden care for the
soul. Death is regarded as a medical failure, and usually hidden
away in hospitals, hospices, nursing homes and mortuaries. We have
lost the ability to talk openly about the end of life. It's
frightening to know how to talk to a relative or friend who is
dying, or to someone who has been suddenly bereaved but unless we
confront this fear, important things can remain unsaid or
incomplete, which often turns into unresolved grief, guilt and
anger.
Personal stories from people from all walks of life explore the
different ways they have come to terms with the dying process or
the sudden death of their spouse, partner, parent, friend or child,
how they have confronted their fear of talking about it, and ways
in which they found support during this very difficult time.
