"Even professional caregivers can find it difficult to know what to say and do among persons who are dying. With the sensitivity of a shepherd who cares deeply for his sheep - and bolstered by the wisdom of experience and a faith that proclaims hope - William Griffith offers unique insights into ministry among the dying."--BOOK JACKET.
