Awake at the Bedside: Contemplative Teachings on Palliative and End-of-Life Care

This book isnâ€™t about dying. Itâ€™s about life and what life has to teach us. Itâ€™s about caring and whatÂ givingÂ care really means.Â

InÂ Awake at the Bedside, pioneers of palliative and end-of-life careÂ as well as doctors, chaplains, caregivers and even poetsÂ offer wisdom that will challenge, uplift, comfortâ€”and change the way we think about death.Â

Equal parts instruction manual and spiritual testimony, it includes specific instructions and personal accounts to inspire, counsel, and teach. An indispensable resource for anyone involved in hospice work or caregiving of any kind.
