Birthing Death Ms. Sue E Fabian 1st edition

Read this compelling real-life drama and you will be more deeply equipped to insure the best medical care for your loved one, even at death's door and survive this journey that will take you to the edge or your strength. This work is a unique contribution in that it combines: (1) the emotional experience of the primary caregiver in witnessing a dying loved one, (2) the gut-busting experiences of family disagreements, (3) advocacy and legal tips to insure quality care, and most importantly, (3) a re-framing of the entire experience into the most sacred of spiritual journeys. Because she is an Elder Law Attorney, Geriatric Care Manager, and perhaps most importantly, a long-time caregiver, author Sue Fabian relays this human experience fully laid bare, hoping to lend a helping hand to those crossing similar bridges. She also helps readers understand that this is a most sacred moment--helping to birth your loved one into the next world through the death of their human body. This book describes the twenty-seven day vigil the author took in assisting her dying mother through her final journey, after 22 years of caregiving. Through her decades of personal and professional experience and having worked with hundreds of families, she offers readers a wealth of backpack tools to walk this painful path with eyes and heart open, and keep venturing with their loved one right up to the horizon of this life and the next.
