Description
"Talking Through Death looks at communication at the end-of-life from several different communication perspectives: interpersonal (patient, provider, family), mediated, and cultural. Through studying cultural media, funeral related rituals, religious and cultural practices, medical settings, and legal issues surrounding advance directives; readers will gain insight into the ways symbolic communication constructs the experience of death and dying, and the way meaning is infused into the dying process. The book will look at the communication-related health and social issues facing people and their families as they transition through the end of their life. It will report on research recently conducted by the author and others to create a conversational, narrative text that helps students understand the symbolism and construction of meaning inherent in end-of-life communication" --
