Treasuring
Life: Befriending Death
Dorothy Monks, OP
Written
for anyone age seventeen or over, Treasuring Life: Befriending
Death encourages the reader to live life each day to the
fullest and to see "suffering love" as something every human
being experiences. Death is presented as a natural event along
life's journey, not something to be feared. The stories - all
of them true - have been written by caregivers, hospice nurses,
health aides, social workers, mothers, sisters, priests, deacons,
teachers and lay volunteers. Written in a style that is at once
simple, spiritual, informative, appealing, relevant and hope
filled, this work will be helpful to anyone who has or will have
at some time to make important end-of-life decisions for themselves
or for others. |
