Visiting and Caring for the Sick
₹100.00
This book serves as a source of inspiration and practical guide for those involved in this important type of voluntary ministry. The reader will note throughout this book, like a discreet perfume, a spirit of gentleness and concern for spiritual values; these are not expressed in complicated formulas but through the simplest of gestures and tactful care. When the hope of recovery has faded, when discomfort and suffering worsen, the sick person needs hope and support more than ever. Relatives and friends, who occasionally visit sick people, and those who offer home care, will find in these pages useful information and techniques. Volunteers visiting in hospitals and residences will be able to further their education by reading, for example, the sections devoted to active listening and the accompaniment of those who are dying. Published by Novalis, St. Paul University, Ottawa, Canada.
