I am developing a concept on end of life care across the health care continuum. I call it the Silver Hour. Within my web sites are lists and suggestions for using the arts to teach about en do life care, in all settings. http://silverhour.info/5.html. Everything is open for use.

I wanted to bring to your attention the new ebook The Dying Game: A Curious History of Death, which spans human history to examine our relationship with death, from the fear of being buried alive to the art of dying well. Melanie King wrote the book to help her come to terms with her mother's unexpected death and her employer's expectation that she be ready to return to work after a few days' bereavement. The book is packed with surprising and fascinating facts and is compelling and entertaining. It's available for download on Amazon and B&N and there's more on it at http://portmeadowbooks.com/?p=180. Disclosure - I'm the publisher, but I'm also a hospice and dying with dignity advocate and fan of Pallimed, and was delighted to have the chance to work on the book!
