This collection of beautifully written, astonishing, and relatable stories turns the focus onto the practitioner and caregiver. Written by compassionate, skilled, and inspiring practitioners in the areas of end-of-life such as hospice, palliative care, thanatology, education, paramedic and police services, chaplaincy, hypnosis and meditation, and death doula work. The co-authors are kind and courageous and openly share their vulnerability and what it means to work in the area of end-of-life care.
Co-Authors: Patti Broadfoot, Brenda Hennessey, Tamelynda Lux, Olga Nikolajev, Chrystal Waban, Rusty Williams
The combination of moving anecdotes, quotes, and real-world observations from a variety of practitioner viewpoints on end-of-life care will move you. In this book:
- compelling stories of caring for a client or loved one at end-of-life transition,
- discussion about how companioning the dying is similar to the tenets of Companioning the Bereaved by Dr. Alan D. Wolfelt,
- inspiring experiences or moments of revelation,
- self-care tips and strategies for managing as a caregiver,
- recommended quotes and books that inspired the authors,
- what practitioners wish they had known when they began on the journey as practitioners in end-of-life care and what they discovered,
- space for journaling your thoughts, and
- a co-author discussion.
