Abstract

This book was written to educate individuals diagnosed with a serious medical condition along with their loved ones about the importance of palliative care. The work outlines what palliative care is, provides communication strategies for getting the type of support and care that you want and need (and not just medications), outlines successful coping strategies, and discusses family dynamics, grieving, emotional support, and spirituality. Although palliative care is often associated with hospice and end-of-life planning, the author argues for a more expanded definition that includes improved quality of life at early as well as later stages of the disease process.

Abstract

This film follows the healing journey of retired nurse, Jackie Sawasy, who through a proactive 8 months, reveals how she overcame breast cancer. Initially detected by her Qigong therapist, Jackie decides to order her own mammograms. When the diagnosis is confirmed, she takes control and empowers herself through various holistic practices. This inspiring film supports the idea that breast cancer is not a death sentence.
