Sinopsis

What matters most when someone close to you has been diagnosed as terminal? Time and quality of life for both of you. Coping with both the practical and emotional questions of this challenging passage. We area ll going to die one day, yet every death is individual -- as is the walk toward that individual death both for the one leaving and for the ones they leave behind. Focusing on what truly matters between human beings while taking care of the business of living at the end of life is what this book is about.This book offers:•Practical tips for coping with the physical changes that will impact both the person and the caregiver emotionally, physically, financially and spiritually. •Advice on what to put in place before the person dies to make things a little easier for those they leave behind. •The stories and examples of others to let people know they are not alone•Advice and tips for those who are not going to be primary caregiver, but whole are friends, neighbors, colleagues or any other part of the relationships we all share in lifeThere is no perfect way to walk through this time in life. (There’s no perfect way to walk through all of life for that matter). But there are good ways to do it. Focusing on what matters while taking care of the practical business of living and dying can make this walk slightly less scary and more rewarding for everyone. How to use this book:Browse the chapter headings; skip around in the TIPS for ways to approach or solve specific problems. Search the Sources lists at the end of the chapters for additional information on a question or need. Read the stories of others’ experiences. For the co-worker, the friend and the neighbor, this book offers advice and helpful hints on what to say or do as well as what not to say or do. For the loved one, spouse, and relative it’s a practical guide to what you might expect at each stage and offers realistic and reasonable coping strategies. It includes examples born of the experience of a range of people -- professionals in the field as well as no-professionals like yourself -- of what you might experience on this difficult journey.Yet, as we’ve said, each death is individual just as are the relationships, personalities and personal dynamics involved in each death. Despite the individuality of experience, there are also issues and threads that are universal in human life. This book can act as a practical guide, an encouraging friend, and support, and offers hope for the best possible experience as you help to walk someone home. Across America, 43.5 million people, (nearly one in five adults) care for a loved one 50 or older according to AARP.The Writers:Sue Collins has been a nurse for 38 years and a hospice nurse for 28 years. She has the extensive experience of the professional caregiver and has seen virtually everything at the end of life. As much as anything this book arises out of the OMG!I-can’t-believe-they-said-that/did-that moments as well as the anger, frustration, grace and poignancy she has witnessed during the last days of patients for whom she has cared.Nancy Taylor Robson, author of three other books, lost her father to bone cancer, which took approximately three years from diagnosis to departure, and her mother-in-law to a long decline and a series of strokes. She has sat by deathbeds and seen more than one friend through the last months, weeks, days and hours of life and knows that as painful a journey as this is, there can be gifts and blessings along the way. She knows, (at least intellectually), that none of us is getting out of here alive.

Acerca del autor

Sue Collins, who has been a nurse for 38 years and a hospice nurse for 28 years, wasn't at first called to nursing. In high school, it seemed like an easier course -- or maybe much more practical -- than a purely academic course. She discovered she was good at it. But when she was working in a hospital in Baltimore, she would occasionally see the nurses who worked on the 4th floor in the hospice ward in the cafeteria. "Something was different about them," she says now. "It was like they KNEW something that the rest of us didn't. They seemed more peaceful, calm. I wanted to know what was going on on that fourth floor!" which is how she got into being a hospice nurse. She lives in Maryland, competes in sculls with the local rowing club, enjoys her two grown children and her granddaughter as well as partying with her husband and friends. Nancy Taylor Robson grew up sailing and building boats with her father on the Chesapeake Bay. After earning a degree in history, she married a tugboat captain and then became one of the first women in the country licensed by the U.S.Coast Guard to run coastal tugboats. She spent six years working on coastal tugs until the birth of her first child. Woman in The Wheelhouse (reissued in paperback by Head to Wind Publishing in 2013) is the story of those six romantic, adventure-filled, sometimes harrowing years. She is the author of two novels: the award-winning coming of age story, Course of the Waterman (River City Publishing, 2004) and A Love Like No Other: Abigail and John Adams, A Modern Love Story (Head to Wind Publishing 2012). Her essays, features, travel, garden writing and maritime reportage and analysis has appeared in regional, national and international magazines and newspapers. She is an organic Master Gardener, food writer, cook and avid eater, and the mother of two grown children. She lives with her husband of many years' worth of adventures both at sea and on land.

Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
