As her son endured grueling treatments, Robin realized how often medical professionals overlook critical psychological, emotional, and spiritual support for people with life-threatening illnesses. Living Well with a Serious Illness is the culmination of decades of Robin's work to advance the field of palliative care.Although palliative care is often associated with hospice and end-of-life planning, Kanarek argues for a more expanded definition that incorporates palliative care earlier in patients' journeys. Living Well with a Serious Illness helps patients and their caregivers understand what palliative care entails how to access the support they need when going through a serious illness what questions to ask medical professionals how to navigate advanced care planning definitions of common terminology used with end-of-life planning the importance of spiritual care, coping strategies, and emotional support how to become an advocate for palliative careThis book illuminates the importance of seeing patients as individuals who can benefit from care for their body, mind, and spirit-the core tenet of palliative care"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Terminal care 650 0 $a Palliative treatment. 650 0 $a Death. 650 0 $a Families of the terminally ill $x Psychology. 941 $a 4 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044615.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240224010832.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20231104011239.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010148.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4D9EDB32F08A11EDB88C213231ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
