Críticas
"Writing with wit and insight..." --"Publishers Weekly" (for "Despicable Species") "This is the good stuff. Ms. Lembke's observations are acute, crisp, informed, and above all, graceful." --Sue Hubbell, "The New York Times Book Review" ..."so readable (and valuable)...anyone who has read any of Lembke's previous 13 books knows her inimitable prose style, compelling in thought, humor and impressive knowledge...Lembke brings that same lofty intelligence and down-to-earthness to the subject of death..."-- "Maine Sunday Telegram" "The Book can be an important reflection for professionals providing end-of-life care and to refer to patients and families seeking assistance."--"Home Healthcare Nurse" In Praise of Janet Lembke's previous books: "Lembke is one of today's finest nature writers." --"Library Journal" (for "Dangerous Birds") "Writing with wit and insight" --"Publishers Weekly" (for "Despicable Species")
Reseña del editor
A look into the end of life, and how to care for and attend to loved ones in their final years. When Janet Lembke's mother was a sprightly 78 years old, she had made her daughter promise to help her die when the time came. Pills with a stiff Bloody Mary and a hug. But when that time came many years later, it was not so simple. Her mother had had a series of strokes that had rendered her incapable of rational thought, and Lembke couldn't, in fact, help her mother die. Watching her mother suspended in a life that wasn't really living prompted Lembke to wonder what could be done. How do we deal with life's end? How best may those of us who have our wits about us care for old, frail people whose minds are lost forever in the shadows? This book is a result of her quest for answers, of impeccable research into the world of care giving to the dying. Lembke examines death by choice - suicide, assisted and otherwise; advanced medical directives; the bioethics of withdrawal of life support; dementia and how a caregiver may cope with it; hospice; and the quality of life. The eponymous chapter explores ways to determine quality and discovers objective criteria. Lembke interviewed many people and tells their stories. Among them are two women who helped a mother die, a rabbi, a Muslim bio ethicist and a man, survivor of not one but two kidney transplants, who worked with Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. The book concludes with a list of resources, such as the Alzheimer's Association, The Stroke Network and Life Line, a device for summoning help.
