BEING WITH DYING - JOAN HALIFAX



RATING: C

A bookful of advice for carers dealing with those that are dying and close to death. As a FT carer to my 89YO father, I thought this an appropriate book to read, especially as it comes from a Buddhist viewpoint, if mainly zen. HIGHLIGHTS: Page 27 - the entry beginning 'true compassion just does what needs' stands out. Chapter 5 was especially interesting to me.

I would recommend this book - as indeed I actually have - to carers who are dealing with those close to death, the elderly, or those seeking to further their general experience of caring from a Buddhist point of view.
