CHRISTINE LONGAKER: Facing Death and Finding Hope
by Janice Stensrude
TALKING WITH CHRISTINE LONGAKER
Christine Longaker lost her husband to leukemia when she was only 25. The pair had had two years to confront and reconcile the inevitable. After her husband’s death, Longaker happened upon the Buddhist view of death, which ultimately led to her embracing Buddhist philosophy and founding the hospice movement in California.
Her book (still in print and now a classic in its field), is Facing Death and Finding Hope: A Guide To The Emotional and Spiritual Care Of The Dying
