Leaves Falling Gently: Living Fully with Serious and Life-Limiting Illness Through Mindfulness, Compassion, and Connectedness
Most people understand that they will eventually die, but imagine that their death will take place far in the future, after they’ve have accomplished most of their goals. Millions of people diagnosed with serious and life-threatening illnesses must face these realities suddenly, and are often troubled by fears, anxieties, a sense of loss, and the overwhelming sense that there is still so much more left to do. Written by a nurse and researcher who has more than thirty years of experience working with people who have terminal illnesses, Leaves Falling Gently shows these individuals how they can change the internal experience of coming to terms with dying, through mindfulness and compassion.
