LEANING INTO SHARP POINTS: PRACTICAL GUIDANCE AND NURTURING SUPPORT FOR CAREGIVERS
Book ID/图书代码： 09778012B53341
English Summary/英文概要： As the title suggests, nobody wants to think about the death of a loved one. Yet, statistics show that at least once in almost everyone’s life they will become a caregiver, and those who accept this responsibility will learn that they must face directly and honestly not only a loved one’s decline and death, but other painful and difficult situations. LEANING INTO SHARP POINTS by Stan Goldberg, PhD, is a book of preparation, regardless if it will be needed next week or in the distant future. Most people want to be as helpful as they can. The problem is they may not have the knowledge or experience to do it. The suggestions are equally relevant for the occasional visit to a dying loved one as for 24/7 caregiving.
Instead of viewing death as if it is a single event, Dr. Goldberg believes it’s more helpful to think of it as beginning with the terminal diagnosis of a loved one and ending with the caregiver’s recovery from grief. Regardless of what stage of dying a loved one is in, caregivers will find the suggestions in this book applicable and practical.
Each serves two functions: They ease a loved one’s death and reduce a caretaker’s grief. The book is based on Dr. Goldberg’s experiences rather than on theory.
LEANING INTO SHARP POINTS addresses the two biggest concerns of caregivers: What should I expect? and What can I do to help? From Dr. Goldberg’s experience, what is often lacking in advice in dealing with the dying is compassion and honesty, two things our loved ones need most. Caregivers seek guidance on what should be said and done to meet the emotional needs of loved ones from the time of a terminal diagnosis until the moment of death. And until now, no book has simply and gently explained what a person can do to make the death of a loved one easier, and as a consequence reduce the intensity and duration of their own grieving.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 正如书名所暗示的,没人愿意去想象心爱人的死亡。然而,数据表明,几乎每个人一生中都至少担任一次照看者的角色,而那些接受这种责任的人们将会懂得，他们不仅必须直面爱人的衰退和死亡,还必须直面其他痛苦和困境。 由斯坦•古德伯格博士创作的《变故的依靠》是一本预备之书,无论它将在下周排上用场还是在遥远的将来。大多数人都想尽可能帮上忙。问题是他们可能缺乏知识或者经验。书中的建议不仅适用于全天候看护，还同样适用于对垂死亲人的偶尔探视。
古德伯格博士认为将死亡视为从病危诊断到照看者平复伤痛之间的过程，比视死亡为一个单独事件更为有益。无论所爱之人处于死亡过程的哪个阶段，照看者都会发现本书所提的建议适用且实用。
每个建议都有两个功能:他们减轻心爱人的死亡痛楚并减少照看者的悲痛。本书的创作基于古德伯格博士的经历,而不是理论。
《倚靠尖端》解决了照看者的两大担心:我该期待什么?和我能帮上什么忙?从古德伯格博士的经验来看,如何对待濒死者的建议常常缺乏同情和诚实,这两点是我们爱的人最需要的。照看者寻求指导，不知该说些什么、做些什么才能满足所爱的人从病危诊断到死亡时刻的情感需求。直到现在,没有一本书能简单、平和地解释人们怎么做才能使爱人更加轻松地去世,从而减少照看者自身悲伤的强度和持续度。(LNL)

LEANING INTO SHARP POINTS offers honest yet compassionate advice for facing those issues, right from the moment of diagnosis through the process of healing and decline to the grief and pain that comes after.
