Produktbeschreibung

Crossing Over provides a unique view of patients, families, and their caregivers striving together to maintain comfort and hope in the face of incurable illness. The narratives weave together emotions, physical symptoms, spiritual concerns, and the stresses of family life, as well as the professional, and personal challenges of providing hospice and palliative care. Based on a vast amount of participant-observation and in-depth interviews, it captures the breathtaking diversity of peoples aspirations and ideals as they face death and the views of the professionals who care for them.
