First sentence: When we were very, very little, our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, perhaps even older brothers and sisters picked us up, made funny faces at us, made strange sounds, held us; we felt warm, we felt safe.
Description: "Meeting the Needs of Our Clients Creatively: The Impact of Art and Culture on Caregiving is a new work which integrates traditional understandings of care of the dying and bereaved with the use of arts and other forms of cultural creativity in therapy and funeralization. Twenty-one authors give cutting-edge insights into the practical aspects of caring for the dying and bereaved as well as new understandings of creativity."--BOOK JACKET.
