Reviews"Although brief in length, this compassionate guide to core topics in palliative care presents an abundance of useful material that will be appreciated by both physicians and non-physicians...Written with the finely tuned phrasing of a poet who can capture the most complicated and multilayered concepts in the briefest of sentences...'There is a time in this process when words do no justice, I think of this as the "sacred silence." This silence opens a space in which the living join the dead, together in the mystery of life and death, becoming and unbecoming.'(p.186)"--Elizabeth Balsam Hart, M.D., Maine-Dartmouth Family Practice Residency Journal of Palliative Medicine, This book is an insightful attempt by one palliative care physician to make sense of certain aspects of palliative care via stories . . . Each chapter draws the reader into a new conversation with Dr Hallenbeck, whose informal style of writing and honest use of the self is both endearing and engaging. His extensive clinical experience and expertise as a palliative care physician and educator is evident throughout this book. He provides well-referenced evidence and appropriate real life stories, with clear and simple explanations and practical suggestions to complex clinical problems, capturing the underlying guiding principles and morals in useful 'Palliative care notes'., "Although brief in length, this compassionate guide to core topics in palliative care presents an abundance of useful material that will be appreciated by both physicians and non-physicians...Written with the finely tuned phrasing of a poet who can capture the most complicated and multilayered concepts in the briefest of sentences...'There is a time in this process when words do no justice, I think of this as the "sacred silence."

It will be particularly useful as an introduction for doctors and nurses coming to the field of palliative care, but will also be valuable to more experienced practitioners to ponder and to use in their teaching.
