Working With Patients During A Dying Process
As practitioners, we see people in many phases of their lives, and occasionally we encounter them during their end of life. Death is a subject we don't talk about in our culture. It is dark, complicated and takes people to places they would prefer to avoid at all costs. That's why this module is so important. Isobel Cosgrove, an Acupuncturist with over thirty years experience, uses her experience about working with a patient during a dying process to help us understand the complexities of dying, and our role as a support person through the process. She talks about isolation being the greatest burden for the patient and how we can help them transition through their emotional journey - so that they have a peaceful death.
