| Summary |
"Living with Dying begins with the narratives of five healthcare professionals, who, when faced with overwhelming personal losses altered their clinical practices and philosophies. The book provides ways to ensure a respectful death for individuals, speaks to families, groups, and communities, and is organized around theoretical issues in loss, grief, and bereavement and around clinical practice with individuals, families, and groups."--Book jacket. |
