Review of "Attending the Dying" by Megory Anderson

This is a short work, intended for chaplains, or other non-medical professionals attending the dying.  The material is brief, and there are many aspects of dying or grief that are not covered, or only touched on tangentially.  However, in its relatively few pages, the book does give significant guidance to those who are attending a death in a spiritual, or vigil capacity, and is probably helpful for those in the medical professions who are not spiritual workers, but are called upon to attend to a dying person.

Although this work is intended for chaplains, and other spiritual leaders, the bulk of the material is very practical, and is a very useful introduction and guide for those wanting some reference in terms of sitting vigil.
