In graduate school while getting my masters in Social Work, I learned from many different professors and benefited from their wisdom and knowledge. I loved it when the professors presented their own ideas which were unique to them. This showed me that there are many different ways of approaching a patient and his/her issues. Psychotherapy is not black or white. It is helpful to be creative and go with the flow and to join the person the very best that you can.

Anything that brings peace to someone (prayer, music, holding hands, etc.) is very worth while and helpful. We may want to ask the patient what would bring him comfort. I think we gradually separate from our loved ones as we are transitioning into death. Separation is sad but necessary. I watched my mom and sister begin to turn from us as they got closer to death. I hope I can let my children know how much they are still loved as I am dying.
