"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Confronted with the approaching death of a loved one, most people are uncertain, fearful, and uncomfortable regarding their role. Oncologist Buckman has written a sensitive, compassionate guide to their dilemma. With deep insight, gained from many years of practice, he describes the dying process and provides practical, concrete suggestions for bringing a degree of comfort to the dying individual. His advice is illustrated with many brief, descriptive vignettes of actual cases covering a wide spectrum of ages, personalities, family situations, and responses. While no one wants to die, as he pointedly remarks, the death of a loved one is something most of us must face at some time--and his book serves admirably to assuage the pain of the inevitable.
