Book Reviews of The True Work of Dying: A Practical and Compassionate Guide to Easing the Dying Process
Book Review: Compassionate and insightful book, invaluable help
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd read many other books on death and dying (Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Stephen Levine, Tibetan Book of Living and Dying)after my parents died in 1979 and 1983, then after friends' passings in 1993. I bought this book two years ago after a friend's mother had hospice care. I didn't start reading it until my brother-in-law was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor in July 2005. It is such a wonderful book. There are beautiful stories of real hospice experiences that are inspiring and comforting. The information given to assist a dying person, helps one understand the process very well, and it demystifies a natural stage in life. Further, support for caregivers is addressed in a compassionate and supportive manner. This book became my guidebook as my brother-in-law went through his process, to peacefully pass in April 2006. I've shared it with family members to help them understand and gain support. I am so thankful this book was written.
