Publisher's Synopsis
The revised edition of 'Crossing Over' is a book of stories - narratives of giving and receiving palliative care in the context of end of life. It is not a textbook that portrays ideal palliative care or that prescribes specific management techniques. Instead, it presents stories of actual patients and families who have experienced terminal illness with the support of hospice or palliative care teams. The narratives are derived from a three-year, qualitative, ethnographic study of the experiences of patients, families, and caregivers.
