Finding Peace at the End of Life: A Death Doula's Guide for Families and Caregivers, Paperback Book, By: Henry Fersko-Weiss

"Beautiful, poignant, pitch perfect and accessible . . . a road-map for clinicians, patients, family members, and caregivers"--BJ Miller, MD, author of A Beginner's Guide to the End: Practical Advice for Living Life and Facing Death

This groundbreaking book encourages us to face our fears and engage in an open, honest dialog about death. Here, longtime "death doula" Henry Fersko-Weiss helps the dying discover meaning in their lives, express that meaning in powerful and beautiful legacies, and plan for their final days with dignity.

The doula approach to death emphasizes thoughtful planning for how the last days should look, sound, and feel, and encourages the use of touch, guided imagery, and ritual during the dying process. It also calls for around-the-clock vigil care, which provides emotional and spiritual support for both the dying person and their loved ones.
