Have you ever been a caregiver for a terminally ill loved one and been with them at their death? Do you have a terminally ill friend? Are you interested in Hospice work? Do you wish you knew what to say or do that would help that dying friend you need to visit?
This short book, with excellent photography, focuses on principles found in Lao Tzu's The Tao Te Ching and principles also found in Christianity. The idea is to center on listening to that dying friend; listening to their story; listening to their wishes; accepting the reality of their approaching death; placing no judgment on self or the dying; and finally, as caregiver, visitor, or friend, taking no credit for self -- remembering all credit belongs to God.
To learn more, check out this book from St. Jerome's Library. I found it a "good read."
