Give Sorrow Words: Working With a Dying Child Second Edition

Give Sorrow Words gives an overview of children's attitudes toward death and considers the moral and ethical issues raised by treatments for life-threatening illnesses in children. In this new edition, available for the first time in the United States, Dorothy Judd draws on her increasing experiences with dying children and their parents to refine and clarify her work as presented in the earlier edition. This book helps readers to make sense out of the irreconcilable tension of embracing death as a part of life and accepting the death of a child.

Through her work with Robert, a young boy dying of acute myeloblastic leukemia, Judd helps readers to see anew the need to reconcile the two tensions and to make the necessary decisions for medical care. |9781897635377|9781315799766, 0789060205|1897635370|1315799766, 9780789060204|9781897635377, 0789060205|1897635370, 9781315799766.
