Reviews
The voices of parents can be heard throughout, enabling the reader to learn what life is like for them and how we as health professionals can support them.
An inspiring and accessible look at what end-of-life care for children should be—it is a text that should grace the shelf of every clinician facing the death of young patients.
A great resource and learning tool... well written, well organized, very practical, and user friendly as a reference for all disciplines involved with palliative care.
This book is rich with palliative care experts’ knowledge as well as humbling experiences of children and their families undergoing the latest stages of a life-threatening illness, the dying process, the death, and finally bereavement. Every chapter is written with a high degree of expertise and the authors’ compassion is ever present.
