Facing Death, Discovering Life

This book is ideal for nurses, hospice workers, caregivers and others who work with the terminally ill, and those who seek hope and solace in their final days. This book explores a paradox - facing death and entering into the anguish and suffering that accompany it can be an experience in discovering life. Death, which we will all live one day, is not an encounter with meaninglessness; it is the fulfillment of life. This book is intended primarily for those who are dying and for those who may face the loss of a loved one. The final section of the book is intended for caregivers (family members, nurses, aides, doctors, pastoral care providers and all those who work closely with those who are dying). Short reflections to inspire and comfort. James Roche
