Description
The right to be treated as a living human being...
The right to maintain a sense of hopefulness.
The right not to die alone
The Rights of the Dying is a book for people dealing with life- challenging diseases, but even more so it is a book for spouses and companions, parents and children, siblings and friends. It examines the physical and emotional experiences of death and helps the reader find a way to say good-bye.
In gentle, compassionate language, David Kessler out- lines the seventeen rights of the dying, principles that will help people face death with dignity. For family members, the book provides a vocabulary, a way of communicating with one another as well as with doctors and hospital staff. It also provides a way of allowing the dying family member to participate in all decisions and express his or her own feelings and emotions.
