Description: "This book isn't about dying. It's about caring and what giving care really means. It's about life and what life has to teach us. In Awake at the Bedside, pioneers of palliative and end-of-life care, as well as doctors, chaplains, caregivers, and even poets, offer wisdom that will challenge, uplift, comfort-and change the way we think about death. Contributors include Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Cicely Saunders, Derek Walcott, and many more"--Back cover.
