Finding Peace At The End Of Life by Henry Fersko-weiss, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

From a longtime end-of-life \"midwife,\" a practical guide to navigating the transition from life to death.\"This book makes a compelling case for end-of-life doula care for the dying and their loved ones. Long-time practitioner Fersko-Weiss also discusses techniques and practices for readers who want to have a more peaceful, meaningful death experience.\" Library Journal (Best Books of 2017)\"Fersko-Weiss's perspective is a desperately needed reminder of the value of facing life's most difficult transitions with open eyes and hearts.\" Publisher's Weekly (starred review)Fersko-Weiss recounts beautiful stories that show that dying doesn't need to be as bleak and soul-wrenching as we think. It can be meaningful and even life-affirming. The doula approach to death offers opportunities to explore the meaning of life and to convey that meaning through legacy work. Based on the model of care provided by birth doulas, it emphasizes thoughtful planning for how the last days of life should look, sound, and feel, and calls for around-the-clock vigil care, which provides emotional and spiritual support for both the dying person and their loved ones. | Finding Peace At The End Of Life by Henry Fersko-weiss, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
