Approaching death is like the slow peeling away of the onion skin.
When the outer layers fall off, and you reach the fl eshy fruit, you reach
the real onion essence-raw, stinging, full of odor and taste. I have
witnessed the peeling of the onion skin as a nurse and caregiver and a
dying coach. In actuality, my patients and loved ones have coached me
in the ways to live as one dies, and shared with me their essence and
aroma, the spirit of who they are really. These are their stories--- I hold them up as a lamp to
light my own way on my journey.
The Lamaze of Dying Practicing for the end of life edition by Amy Getter Professional Technical eBooks
In such a small space of pages, Amy Getter eloquently examines a key conundrum of modern human existence: care-giving at the end of life. Lack of wisdom in knowing how to respond to the fact of universal human mortality is a problem which has been greatly exacerbated over the last century by medical science and the pharmaceutical industry. If the military-industrial complex ruled much of the 20th century, a runaway scientific-pharmaceutical industrial complex dominates much of the 21st.But The Lamaze of Dying isn't primarily a political or sociological treatise or expose. Rather, it is the journal of a compassionate hospice-care nurse telling personal stories of helping people face death—assisted dying. Getter offers a crucially needed answer to a growing trend in our age, "assisted suicide," often euphemized "death with dignity"; as "to pass away" is a euphemism for "to die." Medically assisted suicide is becoming our culture's primary response to the uncomfortable human condition of being mortal. As an alternative, assisted dying challenges our culture's tendency to that easier option, assisted suicide.
Amy Getter's voice is one not heard often enough in our modern world of science-obsessed behavior and TV medical show solutions to sickness and old age and dying. She eloquently challenges that simplistic philosophy of existence of "keeping death at bay"—when Death will have none of it. With over two decades of experience in critical care nursing and hospice work, Getter writes with wisdom and grace.
Medieval hospitals (such as the 14th century Hospital of Santa Maria Della Scala, Siena, Italy) didn't have the knowledge to "keep death at bay"; yet they afforded monks, nuns, "doctors," nurses, and volunteers an opportunity to develop the art of preparing for and practicing for the end of life. This existential art form has been mostly lost to us in the "developed world" of the 21st century. Amy Getter's "The Lamaze of Dying" offers a handbook and enlightening introduction to the lost art of caring for the dying.

NO comment. Slow pace with little new information. I would not advise anyone to read it. Terminal care is individual.
