This week I am talking to Martha Jo Atkins PHD about her book 'Sign Posts of Dying'.

Sign Posts of Dying tells about the unique language and behaviors of the dying. Brief so as not to overwhelm yet thorough enough to get the information needed, each Signpost shines a light on often ignored or unrecognized aspects of the dying process. Is your beloved hearing people in the hallway? Are they talking about 'other rooms' or friendly visitors who aren't family members? This book can help you recognize the language of dying. Useful for caregivers, mental health pros, and hospice volunteers, Signposts will help you understand some of what you may experience as you walk with a person who is leaving this world. One reader says, "Very intimate and makes what is a difficult topic for lots of people very safe."

Bio

Martha has been with more than a thousand children and adults at end-of-life - in hospitals, homes, and in-patient hospices. Long-term work in grief and bereavement laid a strong professional foundation early, and personal losses provided hard-won empathy and their own kind of wisdom.

She is a doctoral level end-of-life licensed professional counselor and counselor supervisor (LPC-S), coach, consultant, speaker, and author. I love all dogs but most especially boxers. Dr. Pepper is my drink of choice. I worked with my first dying patient, a 3 y/o, when I was 22 years old. For thirty five years now, I’ve come alongside grieving and bereaved children and families + people at end-of-life and the ones who love them.
