An indispensable, compassionate end-of-life resource
After four decades of training volunteers to offer comfort at the
bedsides of the dying, psychologist and Shanti founder Charles Garfield
has created an essential guide for friends, family, and healthcare
professionals who want to ease someone's final days but don't know how
to begin.
Dr. Garfield presents practical advice about finding connection,
honesty, and peace while being of the greatest service to those at the
end of life. By focusing on the reciprocal and healing relationship
between the living and the dying, which continues until the last breath,
he offers a path toward clarity and wholeness, and even growth. Life's
Last Gift is an emotional lifeline for anyone who feels lost and filled
with grief during this final stage of life.
