Insights from elders and their caregivers on the end of life
“Presented with insight and compassion, How We Die Now teaches as it sorts the complexity of what is called the ‘work of dying.’ This book is not so much about the dying process as it is about what can be learned from those who work with those who are dying. Surprises and lessons abound as this gray area at the end of life comes into view with clarity.”-Jay Gubrium, Professor and Chair of Sociology at the University of Missouri and author of Living and Dying at Murray Manor
