This new evidence-based model, derived from a study of parents and exemplary clinicians, offers a clear presentation of the complex process of interaction between healthcare providers and parents of seriously ill children. A unique aspect of the book is that it is based on the study of excellence rather than focusing on what did not go well. This model gives clinicians practical strategies for optimizing interactions with parents of seriously ill children. Moving beyond the prevalent idea of communication as a step-by-step procedure, this book demonstrates the complex and holistic nature of interaction in healthcare.
This book comes out of an in-depth, qualitative study of the experiences of twenty-three families in which one parent was dying of cancer. The study attempted to better understand the impact of terminal illness on the entire family system and sought to develop a theoretical framework that would guide the assessment of and services to such families. As a result of interviews with patients, spouses and their adult children over three phases of the study, the process of ""fading away"" was identified and conceptualized in terms of various phases which contributed to this process. The book is not a research report but rather presents more generally the ideas that developed from the study, with two purposes: to increase the reader's understanding of particular experiences that families encounter when dealing with terminal illness, specifically cancer. The intended readership also includes families themselves: to propose guidelines for care to be considered by practitioners working with such families.

When I go into a school and see behavior that needs attention, I try to address my feelings as well as those of the students who are affected. Rather than telling someone how to live their life, I'd rather show in words what my experiences have led me to believe. We all have the right to choose the path we wish to take, it's also good to know what our options are.
This is the story of Walter Hart and his wife, Daisy. He, an uneducated farmer and she, a lovely sophisticated scholar, grew up in the early 1900's. They overcame tragedy and their life stories told of a time and place that no longer exists. Their youngest daughter, Betty, tells their story in a way that will enable you to know them and retrace their journey. Her journey continues in their footsteps. Interspersed with historic moments, this book gives the reader a look into the heart of a daughter who believes this story deserves to be shared. It culminates with a spiritual and physical manifestation that assures the author that this story had to be told.
