We are all mortal - a realization that is as simple as it is shocking. This book invites you to consciously deal with dying and death. On the one hand, it wants to take away the fear of dying and on the other hand, it wants to encourage a fulfilled life. Gerda and Rüdiger Maschwitz encourage people to accompany them on their journey of dying. In doing so, both general questions about end-of-life care and its spiritual and therefore spiritual significance are addressed.
The introduction presents the new medical findings and considerations on dying; this information is necessary to enable a dignified death. Hospice work and palliative care are also presented and explained.
The focus of this guide is on healing rituals that are helpful when accompanying a dying person; the Protestant, Catholic and Buddhist perspectives on spiritual care for the dying are particularly valuable and are addressed in the book. Reports and experiences from people who have accompanied other people in their family, at work or in voluntary work round off this book.
Numerous competent and experienced authors have contributed to this book, including Michael von Brück, Raimund Hillebrand, Monika Schaefer, Franz Xaver Jans-Scheidegger, Bogdan Snela, Bärbel Trautwein and Kristiane Voll.
