An indispensable, compassionate end-of-life resource
After four decades of training volunteers to sit 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 where to begin.
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.
