Is it possible to get the full list of references for these people eg title of article or book and the place of publication. Many thanks.

My partner of seven years passed away last week and I would very much like to attend, possibly his sister would like to as well. Ian and I attended an Introduction to Buddhism course at Karuna in September with Chodron and I feel it would be helpful. Kerry. Am I able to attend for the remaining 3 evening in this course?

]]> Comment on Hospice, Care and Palliation in the 21st Century by Linda http://karuna.org.au/2008/03/hospice-care-and-palliation-in-the-21st-century/#comment-90 Linda Wed, 19 Mar 2008 03:30:34 +0000 http://www.karuna.org.au/2008/03/17/hospice-care-and-palliation-in-the-21st-century/#comment-90 I would have to say until someone has to call in hospice they do not understand the value of a practice based on research and tried and true practices. I just recently was a primary caregiver for my aunt who lost her battle with breast cancer. I was always concerned about the times I had to return to my home and hand over the care to someone else. As an academic, I know that too many people don't value caregiving. It seems like we believe anyone can do it. It was amazing how the social worker and nurse explained what they based their decisions on for providing certain services and under what conditions that it would be useful. I can honestly say that I felt relief and joy at how my aunt responded to their one and only visit. She died the next day. However, I was so impressed that I signed her grandchildren up for grief counseling under hospice and it has been great. Their methods are based on a combination of sound theory and practice. Unfortunately, I can't say that for some of the caregiving services we sought out.
