In teaching us how to face death, "Medical Care of the Soul" is more a guidebook for living than for dying. By envisioning our own death from the soul's perspective, each of us can transform what remains of this life. We can choose to see the awareness of death not as a terrible loss, but as the last, loudest call to discover what we came here to do. The sooner we make this shift, the more time and clarity we will have to achieve our deepest goals and fill the last of life with loving resolution.
Bruce Bartlow has devoted years to care of the poor and neglected, not just in this country but in others. He is as much a humanist as a scientist and part of what makes this book remarkable is his ability to make empathic connections with patients and colleagues. "Medical Care of the Soul" offers a structured approach to fulfilling the "soul" or deep essential healing needed at the end of life, bringing to our last days the same opportunities for depth and sacredness celebrated in the bestseller "Care of the Soul."
