英語/文化「Last Words:Approaches to Death in New Zealand's Cultures and Faiths/最期のことば:ニュージーランドの文化と信仰における死へのアプローチ」Margot Schwass編 Bridget Williams Books 2005年発行 198頁 0.33㎏ 21x14.9x1.4cm Softcover 【内容紹介】Last Words is a short book about ways of acknowledging death in the different cultures and religions currently in New Zealand. While it is designed for use by people working with the dying and the bereaved, the book is also intended for general readers - the New Zealand public. The book includes sections on: different cultures and faiths; Maori perspectives; facing death; and understanding grief. Information, drawn from interviews with the different groups, is up-to-date, and based on the New Zealand context. A practical section outlines the essential points of dealing with accidents, inquests, the coroners' court, and burial. Last Words will help people deal compassionately with many aspects of death and dying. It does not, however, attempt to provide comprehensive answers or a wide-ranging analysis. This is a handbook for people working with people. Table of contents: * Introduction * Facing death - can we die well? * Tikanga Maori - Maori perspectives. (Death, Dying and Grief.
