Product Review
"Although brief in length, this compassionate guide to core topics in palliative care presents an abundance of useful material that will be appreciated by both physicians and non-physiciansWritten with the finely tuned phrasing of a poet who can capture the most complicated and multilayered concepts in the briefest of sentences'There is a time in this process when words do no justice, I think of this as the "sacred silence." This silence opens a space in which the living join the dead, together in the mystery of life and death, becoming and unbecoming.'(p.186)"--Elizabeth Balsam Hart, M.D., Maine-Dartmouth Family Practice Residency Journal of Palliative Medicine
