Publisher's Synopsis
How do we think about death and dying? What's the current state of end-of-life care, and how can we improve it? And how do we give care without becoming emotionally and spiritually depleted? In Awake at the Bedside, an interdisciplinary team-pioneers in the field like Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and Ciceley Saunders, Buddhist luminaries such as Bhikkhu Bodhi and Joseph Goldstein, award-winning poets like Derek Walcott and Nick Flynn, as well as doctors, chaplains, and thinkers of all kinds-come together to offer insights into these incredibly challenging questions.
