Summary:
When people we love are dying, we all too often are unable to help
them -- or even talk to them -- or face our own conflicting feelings
about the impending loss. This authoritative and empathetic guide
demystifies the dying process and offers practical advice for the
friends and families of the terminally ill. In "I Don't Know What to
Say..." Dr. Robert Buckman, a distinguished oncologist who was
himself once diagnosed as having a fatal illness, confronts these
questions:-- What should a patient be told about his or her
illness?-- How can the patient's supporters cope with demands that
may seem angry and irrational?-- What are the crucial differences
between caring for a dying parent, spouse, or child?-- How can you
help someone dying from AIDS, cancer, or a dementing illness?"Even
though its focus is on communicating with someone who is dying, its
reach is far broader, extending to any intimate communication with
anyone who is close. I Don't Know What to Say...' is written simply
and with brilliant directness." -- Toronto Sun"A sensitive,
compassionate guide...[written with] deep insight." -- Library
