Sommario/riassunto |
|
Eric Lindner reveals the thoughts, fears, and lessons of those living the ends of their lives in the care of others, having exhausted their medical options or ceased treatment for their illnesses. In each chapter, Linder not only reveals the lessons of lives explored in their final days, but zeroes in on how working for hospice can be incredibly fulfilling. Rather than sink under the weight of depression or sorrow, Lindner celebrates the lives of those who choose to LIVE even as they die. |
