SynopsisFamed psychotherapist Albert Ellis, and psychologist Michael Abrams show how the dying person can stave off depression and seize what opportunities for enjoyment are still available. Even when terminal cancer, AIDS, or other death-dealing afflictions strike, people have choices and they can learn how to cope, and to enjoy their remaining days. Shows how to deal with guilt and anger and put an end to hysteria. Reveals how friends and loved ones who panic over impending death may harmfully influence the one they grieve for, to impose needless suffering, and may foster terror and withdrawal from healthy involvements. Their heartwarming stories of successful coping by the celebrated and the obscure offer the reader comfort and aid at a time when both are sorely needed.
