This guide for counselors and lay caregivers explores the art of caring for the dying and their families. Based on the tenets first articulated by renowned grief educator Dr. Alan Wolfelt, this respectful and gratifying guide to caregiving includes personal accounts that debunk the myth of the "good death" and teach caregivers to find the transformative potential of every moment in every experience. Written with wit and illustrated throughout with the author's poetry and artwork, it includes advice for comforting patients and their families as well as advice for dealing with the internal stress common to the profession. The guidance provided will help counselors feel affirmed in their abilities to "be with" the dying and support them and their families.

Good book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Companioning the Dying: A Soulful Guide for Counselors & Caregivers (Hardcover)
The copy I got didn't have a dust cover on it, which I was kinda bummed about. But, the book itself was in good shape.
Also, if you're on the fence about buying it, I'd recommend it. It's a good easy read, with lots of info in it.

This review is from: Companioning the Dying: A Soulful Guide for Counselors & Caregivers (Hardcover)
I paid for expedite shipping for my book, so I could get it in one or two days, for my class. It came two weeks later. They were nice and refunded my money for the shipping I paid.
