Book excerpt: What does it mean to be prepared for the last part of our lives?One of the many lessons author and end-of-life nurse coach Janet Booth learned at the bedside of dying people is how painful it is to come unprepared to the end of life, whether it is our own or that of our loved ones. Much of the suffering we experience seems to come from our unfamiliarity with the journey at end of life and our not knowing how to prepare for it. So there is a need for a different kind of conversation about serious illness and dying in our country. Nurses are trusted professionals who are present with people through all of life's transitions. How might they take more leadership in these conversations?The purpose of this handbook is to provide nurses, coaches, and other health care professionals with opportunities for reflection and inspiration in their work. As nurses and health care professionals, many of us have seen firsthand that the process of navigating serious illness and death within our complex health care system is often confusing, isolating, crisis-driven, and dis-heartening.What outcomes might be possible if instead: * we reimagined the end of life as a vital, purposeful stage of human development? * practices of healing - forgiveness, gratitude, and letting go - became essential parts of our care plans? * wisdom instead of fear informed our challenging decision points? * we prepared for death in order to live more fully the time that we have? * the hard work of caregiving was sustainable and meaningful for both family and professional caregivers?In this book you will find fresh ideas, tools, and reflective practices that encourage you to explore your personal beliefs and values about aging, advanced illness, and dying. It is intended to inspire you to reimagine the end of life as a vital part of how we become fully human - a time of life that holds value, meaning, and purpose.
