Table of ContentsReviewsBart Windrum is one of the most brilliant and original thinkers I know in the citizen movement to improve our experience of death and dying. If you want to avoid pitfalls and improve your odds of a peaceful death--on your own terms, not medicine's--read this book. -- Katy Butler, author of Knocking on Heaven's Door Bart Windrum's end-of-life lexicon draws out a wide range of ethical, medical, cultural, practical, and family issues. His introduction of language shifts is an important contribution to this complicated dialog and a gift to all of us. -- Dennis McCullough, MD, author of My Mother, Your Mother: Embracing Slow Medicine Contemplative aging requires that we learn to identify, recognize, and mitigate practical obstacles to peaceful dying that our world, too readily and frequently, sets before us. Bart Windrum deeply illuminates these matters. -- Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, former Naropa University Wisdom Chair and author of From Age-ing to Sage-ing: A Revolutionary Approach to Growing Older The Promised Landing lays out a map of our dying territory as a matrix, charts its intersecting paths, and discusses obstructions in the way of a peaceful death. Bart Windrum is a warm writer and has written a smart book which will be useful to all of us who see little of dying and death, until we see too much. -- Victoria Sweet, MD, author of Slow Medicine and Gods' Hotel Windrum's Matrix of Dying Terms significantly enhances end-of-life discourse. If widely adopted, the Matrix would advance our ability to talk about these realities, offering insight to policy makers, clinical providers, and citizens in our collective management of dying in America. -- Jennifer Moore Ballentine, MA, Executive Director, California State University Institute for Palliative Care Thank you for an incredibly rich trove of advice. Your work is a light in the darkness. -- Susannah Fox, US authority on technology and health care Author InformationBart Windrum is a citizen end-of-life reform advocate who became activated after experiencing the troubled hospitalized demises of each of his parents in 2004 and 2005. Bart's practical end-of-life lexicon is the subject of increasing interest among civilians and medical professionals. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
