Saying goodbye to Daniel : when death is the best choice
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 175-177).

"Saying Goodbye to Daniel is the heart-rending account of the final two and a half months in the life of Daniel Rothman, told with beautiful simplicity by his mother, Juliet. As a social worker and philosopher specializing in terminal-care issues, Juliet had for many years been preparing herself unwittingly for the hardest choice a parent can ever offer a child." "Saying Goodbye to Daniel is many things. It is the harrowing story of how one family faced the ongoing tragedy of months of hospitalization and acute medical care. It is the moving case study of a young man's death with dignity. It is also a compassionate guidebook that includes: an update on how the family coped with the loss of their son and brother, emotionally and spiritually, two years after his death; Juliet's reflections on terminating-care decisions based on her professional and practical experience; and a list of resources dealing with spinal cord injury, loss of a child, grief and bereavement, and advance directives and patient's rights."--BOOK JACKET.
