Ethnic Variations in Dying, Death, and Grief Diversity in Universality

Excellent book for someone who is interested in the different religious cultures regarding death and dying. I am a nurse who is pursuing palliative care/hospice. As a nurse, social worker, or someone who works with dealing with various cultures, you encounter individuals with different religious beliefs. This is a great overview to help you understand different rituals and beliefs that you might encounter in your practice and how to accommodate the grieving families during this difficult time.

Death Education

Very easy to understand and useful in my learning and understanding more about the subject of Grief and Loss from a cultural perspective
