FAITH
IN HOSPICES: SPIRITUAL CARE AND THE END OF LIFE
Derek
Murray
SPCK/02.
ISBN 0-281-05228-X
This
book is probably the best introduction to hospice chaplaincy now
available, but it much more than that. Derek Murray draws on his
long experience as chaplain at St Colomba’s Hospice in Edinburgh
in a way that models good pastoral care. His book is practical,
honest and sensitive, and eschews easy or simplistic answers to
the questions around suffering, death and loss. Although the book
is a good read, it demands some thought and study. Each chapter
ends with questions that could prompt a personal response or be
used for group study.
FINAL
GIFTS: UNDERSTANDING THE SPECIAL AWARENESS, NEEDS AND COMMUNICATIONS
OF THE DYING Maggie
Callanan and Patricia Kelley
Bantam Books; ISBN: 0553378767
With
more than 150,000 copies in print, Final Gifts has become a classic.
In this moving and compassionate book, hospice nurses Maggie Callanan
and Patricia Kelley share their intimate experiences with patients
at the end of life, drawn from more than twenty years experience
tending the terminally ill. Through their stories we come to appreciate
the near-miraculous ways in which the dying communicate their needs,
reveal their feelings, and even choreograph their own final moments;
we also discover the gifts--of wisdom, faith, and love--that the
dying leave for the living to share. Filled with practical advice
on responding to the requests of the dying and helping them prepare
emotionally and spiritually for death, Final Gifts shows how we
can help the dying person live fully to the very end.
