Even those well into adulthood are often taken aback by the deep sense of loneliness, the sense of being orphaned that the death of a mother or father can bring. In this book, Rev Richark Gilbert has created a compassionate guide for those struggling with the loss of a parent. Bringing many years of experience in bereavement counseling, Gilbert sketches out some of the issues that arise in the wake of a parent's death and offers practical suggestions for navigating these difficulties. Excellent reference for hospice physicians and other professionals. He clearly shows how patients are often pressured into euthanasia and how euthanasia may be performed on patients who have not given permission, were not informed of the intention to euthanize them, or who were depressed and may have decided against euthanasia if they had been offered psychiatric counseling.
Euthanasia represents one of the greatest threats to real hospice care in the world.
