Palliative care

[captain artichoke]

Hey there,

Does anyone have any advice, particularly good books, tips to self-care etc for working with clients who are dying, but in a non palliative care setting.

Thanks

It's not even remotely what you're looking for (sorry - I'm sure someone will be along with a useful list soon!), but I've just re-read 'Tuesdays with Morrie' and recalled how much I loved it. It's about a man visiting his old lecturer, who is dying, and what he learned from being with Morrie over the months at the end of his life. Very touching.

I would highly recommend "Intimate Death: How the Dying Teach Us How to Live" by Marie De Hennezel. Marie is a Psychologist working in a hospice and she talks about people she has worked with. Very illuminating read with also some really good tips and stories about how a palliative care team can work well together.
