Letting Go: Caring for the Dying and the Bereaved (New Library of Pastoral Care)

New multiprofessional approaches to care require that those in ministry develop a solid grasp of current models of grief. This volume outlines the latest research and thinking about grief and bereavement, covering the role of hospice, advance directives, near-death experiences, multicultural issues, palliative care, post-traumatic stress, alternative funerals, and more. Letting Go holds a central place within the pastoral literature for shepherds of the dying or bereaved.
