Midwifing distress at end of life: Missed opportunities?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 August 2013
Extract
Birth and death are rites of passage, and preparation is important (Richards, 2007). Palliative care clinicians describe end of life as a meaningful stage of life filled with opportunity and mystery. However, in palliative care, we have a tendency to overlook dying as a means of spiritual awakening, and there is little understanding, and little or no demand, among palliative care patients, or in the broader culture, to learn the skills of dying.
