Through four interrelated narratives—how Barbara wrote about her illness in a cancer diary, how he cared for her throughout her illness, how his students reacted to his disclosure that she was dying, and how he responded to her death—Berman explores his efforts to hold on to Barbara precisely as she was letting go of life. Intensely personal, Dying to Teach affirms the power of writing to memorialize loss and work through grief, and demonstrates the importance of death education: teachers and students writing and talking about a subject that, until now, has often been deemed too personal for the classroom.CaregiversDeathEulogiesHospice carePancreasCancerPatientsBiographyTeacher-student relationshipsCaregivers.Death.Eulogies.Hospice care.PancreasCancerPatientsTeacher-student relationships.362.196/994370092BBerman Jeffrey1945-1617145MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807138103321Dying to teach3989033UNINA
