Peaceful Dying: The Step-By-Step Guide to Preserving Your Dignity, Your Choice, and Your Inner Peace at the End of Life

Rating:
Summary: an excellent summary of end of life care
Review: I am writing in response to the "someone read this book and killed himself" reference. I understand the pain of losing someone to suicide, and offer my condolences and compassion to the person who wrote the message. But I must say, having read this book and knowing Dr. Tobin, that there is nothing in this book that advocates suicide. Dr. Tobin spends his life giving and teaching about compassionate care for the dying in all dimensions: physical, psychological, spiritual. He is committed to the notion that dying can be a pain-free time of peace and growth.

Summary: Coincidence?
Review: This book was given to my coworker as a gift few months ago. Not sure if it accomplished its goal as a way to come to terms with death, but he commited suicide a few days ago. Coincidence? Maybe, but a very sorry outcome.
