Summary

1. "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.
