Death,Dying&BereavementPerspec

Catalog description

Death, dying and bereavement are fundamental and pervasive aspects of the human experience. Individuals and societies can only achieve fullness of living by understanding and appreciating these realities. The absence of such understanding and appreciation may result in unnecessary suffering, loss of dignity, alienation, and diminished quality of living. Death, dying and bereavement are essential components of the educational process at all levels, both formal and informal, DeSpelder & Strickland (2011). Information sharing, value clarification, and coping behaviors are emphasized.
