Synopsis:

A compilation of articles by the Hospice Foundation of America about loss and grief that occurs during prolonged illness.

Chronic illness and prolonged dying create special tensions that can be a terrible burden both for the person who is ill and those affected by the illness. Changes in role relationships have psychological and practical ripple effects throughout the extended family.

This book is distributed to participants in the Hospice Foundation of America's annual bereavement teleconference, a major professional training event. It is also sold separately for use by both professionals and non-professionals with an interest in bereavement and loss. Articles cover disease-specific issues such as AIDS and Alzheimer's Disease as well as general material.

Editor Ken Doka is a respected author and editor in thanatology circles.
