Item Description...
Megory Anderson was called to a vigil at the bedside of a friend who was dying one night. That experience was so powerful that she began working with others who needed help attending to those who were dying. Today Anderson is the executive director of the Sacred Dying Foundation in San Francisco, and trains others in the art of "vigiling," a way of attending to the needs of the dying. This practical and concise handbook provides a brief overview of what to expect and how to respond to the needs of someone who is dying. Attending the Dying can be used by and for people of any faith perspective, as well as no particular faith. Chaplains, social workers, hospital-care workers, and friends or family of the dying will all find this a helpful companion for preparing themselves to be present to one of life's most sacred transitions.

 | A must for hospice personnel Jun 5, 2008 |
| As a hospice worker, I have carried this book with me since it was released. I also recommend it to all new hospice volunteers, it is essential information and a great companion book to "Sacred Dying". | | | | Attending The Dying: A Handbook of Practical Guideline Jul 27, 2007 |
Attending the Dying, A Handbook of Practical Guidelines, Megory Anderson, Morehouse, ISBN 0-8192-2108-2. pp. 109. $9.95
Anderson writes that "death is more than just a monitor going off or the last breath. The place of death is still a sacred space. Witnessing a death is a profound experience for family members as well s health professionals. When you have sat vigil with a dying soul, you are forever changed. You have experienced a great mystery. Dying is like being born. It is a miracle in its own right." The author is the director of the Sacred Dying Foundation in San Francisco and trains others in the art of being present with the dying. This is a very practical and concise handbook of what to expect, how to respond to the dying, and how to support the dying person so that the process is as sacred as possible. The book can be used by people of any faith tradition and would be helpful to chaplains, social workers, hospital personnel, as well as friends and family of the dying.

| | | | The title says it all: practical guidelines. Nov 10, 2006 |
| This small volume, so sensitively written, offers a clear understanding of how to be present and support someone through the dying process. More importantly, it helps to bring the sacred back into this time in a person's life. Written especially for those who attend the dying, chaplains and pastoral caregivers, it is nonetheless easy for anyone to read, to understand, and to put into practice. It is small enough to tuck into a purse or pocket, for easy review in the moment of need. A practical companion to Megory Anderson's beautiful work called "Sacred Dying," it is a priceless pearl. | | | | Excellent Resource for all Clergy as well as Family and Hospice Caregivers Mar 7, 2006 |
As a former hospital chaplain, a pastoral caregiver and a hospice volunteer I have used Megory Anderson's "Sacred Dying: Creating Rituals for Embracing the End of Life" as a valuable resource. I ordered "Attending the Dying: A Handbook of Practical Guidelines" with high expectations and am not disapointed. Having read it, I enthusiastically recommend this information-packed little book to all who have occasion to care for or visit the dying, especially clergy who visit terminally ill parishioners. I have recommended this book as required reading for those who will attend vigilling training with the hospice I serve.
