{"product_id":"palliative-home-care-grief-and-lena-holmberg-9783836465410","title":"Palliative Home Care, Grief and Bereavement","description":"Terminal cancer and other severe diseases do not only affect the patient but also the whole family. Terminally ill patients often choose to spend as much of their time as possible at home, thus involving family members in the care process. This book is a mother's story about the palliative home care of her dying adult son, also a father to a three-year-old daughter. The son was cared for at home while dying from leiomyosarcoma. The palliative home care and the mother's grief and bereavement are described in four stories: Hope and disavowal versus fear and despair, Communication in action between family caregivers and a palliative home care team, Words that made a difference in grief and bereavement and Communication across generations. The stories are interpreted and analyzed. Trust, flexibility, continuity, accessibility and empowerment were key concepts in the communication between the family caregivers and the palliative home care team. Empathy based on institutions, on compassion, on shared experiences and loss, but also empathy to self, contributed to the mother's reconciliation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lena Holmberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3836465418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783836465410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.39d","brand":"Lena Holmberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446423302399,"sku":"9783836465410","price":73.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49a571e9-82ef-41f2-ab8d-1c0fa20d4bca.jpg?v=1777224530","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/palliative-home-care-grief-and-lena-holmberg-9783836465410","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
