- Summary:
- In Dying & Bereavement: A Psychosocial Guide for Hospice and Palliative Care compassionately explains the key transitions that chronically ill and dying people, their families, and caregivers move through during the process from diagnosis to death to bereavement. Readers learn the most effective interventions to ease the confusion and stress experienced by clients during these transitions. Clear explanations along with case studies and sample dialogues reveal the issues and challenges presented at each phase of the journey. Nurses, physicians, counselors, social workers, allied health professionals, and volunteers can discover how dying, death, and bereavement can become a rich, complex journey of body, mind, and spirit for all involved.
