Summary: Helping health care pros empathize with terminal patients
Review: This book was written mainly for professionals in the field supporting families of terminal cancer patients. Interviews were done and related to help professionals see the experience from the family's point of view. It was a study conducted by oncology RNs. I would definitely recommend this for health care professionals.I would also recommend this book for families facing life with a terminal cancer patient. I found some comfort in reading about the emotions other people have dealt with in the dilemma of living with and dying of cancer. I didn't find any "answers" in this book, but recognized myself in its pages. The book is a quick read. It was also overpriced. But I guess that is because it was a clinical study, and not widely marketable.
