Riassunto

Being A Compassionate Companion offers us a mirror and encourages us to make contact with the precarious and precious nature of our lives. It shows us how to draw on our innate wisdom, compassion and generosity to assist the journey of continuous discovery that begins with the diagnosis of a life-threatening illness. In an intimate conversational style, Frank shares deeply moving stories from 20 years of caring for the dying. He draws on Buddhist teachings that have informed this work and gives the listener practical tools. The three part audio series is structured on the themes of preparing, serving and grieving. It will be profoundly useful to those accompanying someone facing death, those coming to terms with loss and to anyone wishing to open fully to life.
