Description: With the support of palliative care and hospice a growing number of people are choosing the kinds of experiences they want at the end of life.

Palliative Touch: Massage for People at the End of Life is written for healthcare providers and complementary therapists who wish to provide safe comforting touch for people with life - limiting illness as well as anyone who might wish to support a dying client or loved one to live life to the fullest right up until the end. Based on more than two decades of field and inpatient hospice experience this book addresses topics from common end - of - life symptoms and the stages of dying to cultural issues and how these can impact end - of - life care. Readers are guided to engage with the material at whatever level might be appropriate for their needs with practical tips in every chapter. Beautiful color photographs actual case studies and stories from therapists caregivers and patients bring this information to life.
