Download or read book Sacred Passage written by Margaret Coberly, Ph.D, RN and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2003-02-11 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working as an emergency room nurse, Margaret Coberly came in contact with death on a daily basis. However, it wasn't until her own brother was diagnosed with terminal cancer that she realized she understood very little about the emotional and spiritual aspects of caring for the terminally ill. To fill this gap she turned to the unique wisdom on death and dying found in Tibetan Buddhism. In this book Coberly offers sound, practical advice on meeting the essential needs of the dying, integrating stories from her long career in nursing with useful insights from the Tibetan Buddhist teachings. In the West, death is viewed as a tragic and horrible event. Coberly shows us how this view generates fear and denial, which harm the dying by adding unnecessary loneliness, confusion, and mental anguish to the dying process. Tibetan Buddhism focuses on the nature of death and how to face it with honesty, openness, and courage. In this view, death is not a failure, but a natural part of life that, if properly understood and appreciated, can offer the dying and their loved ones an opportunity to gain valuable insight and wisdom. Coberly argues that the Tibetan Buddhist outlook can be a useful antidote to the culture of fear and denial that surrounds death in the West and can help caregivers become more fully present, fearless, honest, and compassionate. Sacred Passage highlights two very practical teachings on death and dying from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and presents them in clear, nontechnical language. Readers learn about the "eight stages of dissolution leading to death," a detailed roadmap of the dying process that describes the sequence of physical, psychological, and spiritual changes that occur as we die. Coberly also presents the "death meditation," a contemplative exercise for developing a new relationship to death—and life. The book also includes a lengthy, annotated list of recommended readings for added guidance and inspiration. Topics include: • How the terminally ill can experience emotional and spiritual healing even when they can't be cured • Why Western medicine's relentless focus on curing disease has led to inadequate care for the dying • What to expect during the dying process • How our fear and denial of death harm the dying • Techniques to help caregivers promote a peaceful environment for the dying and their loved ones • How to meet the changing physical and emotional needs of the dying • Helpful advice on what to say and how to behave around the terminally ill

Book excerpt: Are you living toward a healthy retirement? Far too many people retire needing to take five to twenty medications a day for health conditions that could easily have been prevented. They retire to their recliner and don't take full advantage of the opportunities that retirement offers because they're dependent upon oxygen from the oxygen tank or because they're just too stiff and sore to get out and enjoy life. It doesn't have to be that way-in nature, when things are in balance, there is no disease! In Healthy Dad, Sick Dad, Dr. Glen N. Robison shares his personal journey with two very similar fathers who ended up in drastically different retirements. Determined to understand why, Dr. Robison studied his healthy father's lifestyle and emulated it for fifteen years, with dramatic improvements to his own health. Now, he shares the secrets of living toward a long, healthy life. Start living today for your greatest asset-YOU-and look forward to a retirement you'll love.

Book excerpt: In the tradition of Atul Gawande and Sherwin Nuland, Marc Agronin writes luminously and unforgettably of life as he sees it as a doctor. His beat is a nursing home in Miami that some would dismiss as God's waiting room. Nothing in the young doctor's medical training had quite prepared him for what he was to discover there. As Agronin first learned from ninety-eight-year-old Esther and, later, from countless others, the true scales of aging aren't one-sided -- you can't list the problems without also tallying the hopes and promises. Drawing on moving personal experiences and in-depth interviews with pioneers in the field, Agronin conjures a spellbinding look at what aging means today -- how our bodies and brains age, and the very way we understand aging.

Book excerpt: "24/7 OR DEAD is written by a non-medical person-a regular American-who experienced firsthand the devastating events of her spouse's life-threatening illness. JariHolland Buck knows upfront and personal the best and worst that can happen in a modern U.S. hospital today." Jane Murray, M.D., former Director of the Division of Education, American Academy of Family Physicians The fifth leading cause of death in American hospitals is medical mistakes. Church leaders who offer comfort and counsel to sick individuals and their families are frequently asked, "Is there anything else I can do?" Until now, the best answer any of us had was, "Pray." Now, we CAN and MUST do more to prevent our loved one from becoming part of the medical mistake death statistics. 24/7 or Dead is a guidebook that describes advocacy techniques on behalf of a hospitalized loved one. 24/7 or Dead provides 14 practical suggestions illustrated by real life examples and checklists to ensure that even in emotionally charged situations, advocacy can be accomplished. This book also addresses personal care, without which advocacy is not possible. 24/7 or Dead is designed to encourage and support family members in the process of reclaiming the "power of partnership" with the healthcare community. This book is geared for the medically untrained family member who needs a step-by-step process for educating themselves and partnering with healthcare professionals to improve the health and comfort of the patient. The early chapters deal with choices, the middle chapters with actions and the final chapters with results. Examples of the use or failure to use each step are illustrated, as are the consequences and results. The difficultyof advocating when resisted by healthcare providers is explored, as are the diverse responses to advocacy by the healthcare community. Legal issues are identified and sample legal documents are provided. "It is my hope that 24/7 or Dead will convert previously passive lay people into advocates and previously directive healthcare providers into partners." Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." I had to become the change in order to help save my husband.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans are or will be amateur caregivers for ill spouses, parents, or friends. Caregivers today, more than ever, use technology to help manage schedules, medication routines and pharmacy reminders, legal and financial affairs, as well as travel and expenses. Yet recent insurance options and health care’s emerging digital world make for an overwhelming, complex process. If you are one of the 64 million current caregivers, could you access your parents’ critical documents in an emergency, using their user IDs and passwords? Do you know how often your parents or parents-in-law are taking medications, how often your loved one goes to the doctor, and how to be involved in medical and life decisions? Statistics show 85 percent of caregivers are not trained in caregiving, so many people are likely winging it, picking up pieces of information here and advice there. The Caregiver’s Toolbox is your guide to cool apps and online tools, insider tips on how to reduce your medical bills, your privacy rights as a caregiver, where to go for free and low-cost help, and much more. It clearly shows which tools will relieve your stress, and those that may add stress. The authors dedicate much of their professional lives to helping people navigate the health care matrix.
