Description:What does it mean to be prepared for the last part of our lives? One of the many lessons author and end-of-life nurse coach Janet Booth learned at the bedside of dying people is how painful it is to come unprepared to the end of life, whether it is our own or that of our loved ones. Much of the suffering we experience seems to come from our unfamiliarity with the journey at end of life and our not knowing how to prepare for it. So there is a need for a different kind of conversation about serious illness and dying in our country. Nurses are trusted professionals who are present with people through all of life’s transitions. How might they take more leadership in these conversations? The purpose of this handbook is to provide nurses, coaches, and other health care professionals with opportunities for reflection and inspiration in their work. As nurses and health care professionals, many of us have seen firsthand that the process of navigating serious illness and death within our complex health care system is often confusing, isolating, crisis-driven, and dis-heartening. What outcomes might be possible if instead: • we reimagined the end of life as a vital, purposeful stage of human development? • practices of healing – forgiveness, gratitude, and letting go – became essential parts of our care plans? • wisdom instead of fear informed our challenging decision points? • we prepared for death in order to live more fully the time that we have? • the hard work of caregiving was sustainable and meaningful for both family and professional caregivers? Coaching conversations involve presence, skillful listening, significant questions, reflection, and planning. They help guide individuals living with chronic and serious illness to make decisions about care and treatment within the framework of their own life story. By opening these conversations earlier in the trajectory of illness, we open the possibility of transforming how people experience the last part of their lives. In this handbook you will find tools and reflective practices that encourage you to explore your personal beliefs and values about aging, advanced illness, and dying. These practices will serve you well, both personally and professionally, for the rest of your life. The content of each chapter provides context for your exploration. What’s the current landscape of end-of-life care, what is changing, and what might be possible? You may find fresh perspectives from thoughtful leaders in end-of-life care and a bigger picture of the emerging models in nursing and health care. However, the real value of this handbook will come from your own reflections, writing, and sharing with others. These practices will serve you well, both personally and professionally, for the rest of your life. This book is written for nurses and nurse coaches, but is relevant to any person who is going to die. It is intended to inspire you to reimagine the end of life as a vital part of how we become fully human – a time of life that holds value, meaning, and purpose. We see a significant cultural shift happening now with the emergence of new models for aging and dying. And, like any period of transition, such times can be confusing time for people to navigate and find their way. The clarity and leadership of nurses and nurse coaches will help move us forward. However, building that clear vision – and keeping it sustainable – depends on our willingness to do the inner work of self-development and self-care.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
