Voyage à la frontière de vie

When confronted with a loved one who is at the end of their life, we all ask ourselves how to behave. What can we say to a person whose days are counted and who is suffering? What shouldn't we say? How can we offer relief? What are the physiological and psychological changes that closely precede death and how can we recognize them and react appropriately? What decisions might we have to make? When does keeping a patient alive become therapeutic harassment? In this book, rich with the personal testimonies of patients and their loved ones as well as the latest theoretical developments, Dr. Varin shares his professional experience and proposes different paths of reflection to help each and every one of us make the most adequate decisions and surmount this painful ordeal.
