About this title

From Library Journal:

For those with terminal illnesses, dying can be a lingering process. While there are many books to help the bereaved, few are available to ease the transition to death for dying people themselves. Weenolsen is a psychologist specializing in counseling the terminally ill. Her book touches on a variety of end-of-life concerns from the practical to the spiritual to help the dying make the most of the remainder of their lives and find meaning in death. Coming to terms with the disease itself, managing pain, planning funerals, making peace with loved ones, deciding about terminal care, and learning what the final experience of death is like are considered in a matter-of-fact way?a reassuring yet sensitive approach to difficult subjects. Although the author argues the pros and cons of euthanasia and belief in an afterlife, her obvious bias in favor of both may be off-putting to some readers. Overall, a good addition to thanatology collections.?Karen McNally Bensing,
