wrote a delightful book
"USING THE POWER OF HOPE TO COPE WITH THE DYING : The Four Stages of Hope"
Whether you are a Nurse, PersonalSupportWorker, Hospice volunteer or simply have a palliative family member this book will help each and everyone of you.
Her nine strategies helpful to the dying I can personally say are often neglected
- Visit
- Ask what they need or want
- Call if you can't come
- Send mail
- Allow for silence
- Leave something personal
- Send gifts
- Reassure them they are not forgotten
- Keep your promises
But I think I'd add be genuinely sincere.
The chapter "Wisdom of the Dying and the Choice of the Moment" is insightful.
She also has a chapter on the Hand-Heart Connection. TTer's will know about it. Everyone should.
It is their experience, but it's also yours!
What will you take away from it?
How will it help you grow?
