Opis

When a loved one dies, how do we respond? And if we have encountered death up close, can we in turn assist others who are facing end of life issues? "When Autumn Comes" explores death from the perspective of a hospice volunteer, recounting stories based on experiences with patients, friends and family members, as they each approach dying on their own terms. Ultimately we will all lose someone close to us. This insightful and tender book not only provides a foundation for those interested in pursuing hospice volunteer work, but for anyone seeking greater understanding and compassion in caring for the dying.
