Gerontologists will gain a more realistic understanding of all of the factors influencing an older individual's view of death and the dying process. These views impact the development of both effective interventions to provide appropriate emotional support and coping strategies to help persons deal with fears of approaching death. 606 $aDeath$xPsychological aspects 606 $aOlder people$xPsychology 615 0$aDeath$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aOlder people$xPsychology. 676 $a155.9/37/0846 700 $aCicirelli$b Victor G$01528824 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782548303321 996 $aOlder adults' views on death$93772688 997 $aUNINA
