Gentle Dying is a wonderful tool to help anyone with a terminal illness or those caring for someone who is dying. A modern death often means being cared for by strangers in an unfamiliar place, away from home where the emphasis is on preventing death rather than embracing it in a compassionate way. Gentle Dying is about switching the focus from cure to human touch and emotional support. This title is full of practical advice and simple techniques to support the dying process for carers and those that are dying. "Gentle Dying" will show you that death isn"t something to be feared but a rite of passage, a time of gentle reflection, optimism and a preparation for the next life.
