| Annotation | Six papers were presented on achieving a good death. Kenneth Howse (Centre for Policy on Ageing - CPA) looks at issues and problems arising from research on achieving a good death for the King's Fund. Dame Rachel Waterhouse offers her reflections as an older person on how death is viewed and managed in today's society. The Revd Brian Greet speaks from his experience as a hospice chaplain and as a "senior". Beatrice Godwin identifies six obstacles to a good death in dementia. The Revd Barry Clark, a hospital chaplain, considers the role of the medical profession at the end of life, and the need for some acceptance of the incidental shortening of life by the medication necessary to ensure pain relief. Leonie Kellaher's paper examines how relatives and friends come to terms with a death, and to make a "good death" in retrospect by religious and non-religious strategies. (RH). |
