How to BE with Someone Who is Dying
AN INTIMATE INTERVIEW WITH PEG ARMSTRONG, HOSTED BY MARY DENMAN
Peg Armstrong – psychotherapist, author, and speaker – is a pioneer who remains at the forefront of grief and bereavement counseling for terminally ill patients and their loved ones. She has worked with such luminaries as Mother Teresa, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, and Viktor Frankl. Peg has incorporated these experiences together with insights from her 25 years in private practice into a powerful vision of terminal illness as a potentially rich, meaningful, and even transformational time of increased self-awareness around life's essential questions:
Why am I here?
Where did I come from? What shall I do here? |
Is there a God or Higher Power?
What happens after physical death? Where do I go? |
Does suffering have meaning?
Looking directly into these issues can soften and shorten the grieving process and better prepare us for clarity with our own permanence. How to BE with Someone Who is Dying extends Peg's vision to the transition process itself, the time between choosing to stop medical treatments for a terminal illness and life's reclaiming itself from the world as we know it.
"There is a great deal of difference between Human Being and Human Doing... we are so much more comfortable with doing!" –– Peg Armstrong. MA, LPC.
