BF575.G7.R39.3 - Goodbye Conversations
Ernest H. Rosenbaum, MD, Isadora R. Rosenbaum, MA and Sabrina Selim, MD
Saying goodbye may be one of the most difficult aspects of dying for both patient and loved ones. Discussion can be very supportive to those around the patient allowing them to interact with loving support that can be a touchstone to help the grieving process. But there are times when such an approach will not work: the dying person may be denying reality, or may not be interested in or able to have such sensitive discussions. http://www.cancersupportivecare.com/goodbye.html
