A doctor who has cared for many dying patients of all ages
tells of his experiences--and theirs.
Many of the chapters are extensive interviews with dying patients,
who have a whole range of different feelings about dying.
This book offers no brilliant new insights,
but it offers close-up experiences of the deaths of a variety of people.
At the end, there is a chapter exploring death as experienced by
the family members, who continued to live after their loved ones died.
Another opportunity to confront the reality of modern dying.
If you would like to read other books about coping with death,
search the Internet for the following exact phrase:
"Best Books on Terminal Care".
