Spiritual Pain Among Patients with Advanced Cancer in Palliative Care. 5 (13 October 2006): 1106-13. As self report of spiritual pain is no different than self report of physical pain, and spiritual care provider's observation of "flinches of pain" is the same, this process is not only evidence based, it is a proven method of beginning a conversation on what spiritual pain exists and the root causes of that pain.

Dying raises fears and questions as old as humanity: What is a "good death"? What can the dying teach us? How do we prepare for death? How can you best support a dying friend or relative?

Drawing from real-life experiences, authors Richard F. Groves and Henriette Anne Klauser present a collection of nine stories, each illustrating a common archetype, as well as insightful, timeless lessons gleaned from each experience.

A scarey title, perhaps, but not a downer. The author is so knowledgable about death practices around the world and in the various religious traditions. To understand death and to hear from those who have been "midwives" to the dying is a source of peace and great hope. There is history here, and stories, and helpful words. I highly recommend it!

This is a must read for anyone who is faced with a loved one who is dying. So many stories to help understand the dying process and how to help. But it is more then that because through understanding the dying process it opens your eyes to living your life fully and completely which prepares you for your own death. this book in harmony with Dying Well by Ira Byock really opens the door to living a great life which in turn help you die well but also helps you become soul friend to someone who is dying. Which makes the transition from this life to the next peaceful. I think that is what everyone wants is a peaceful transition. MUST READ

Insightful and meaningful spiritual assessment tools to perceive and address spiritual pain accompanied by case examples. I strongly recommend this book for both clinical and parish settings.

This book gives great spiritual insight to end of life issues and offers alternative therapies.

This is such a great field if you are in the field of hospice (which is why I got the book) or if it helps you to process death and dying of a loved one through a more factual processing.

The book starts with an overview of how death has been viewed over the centuries and in different cultures.

I found that in looking at the Ancient Books of the Dead, I was able to see how other cultures supported the passage of death. This helped me in feeling like death was something that could be acknowledged. Sometimes in our culture, it feels as though we would rather ignore that death is real.

The book also wants to address the issue of Spiritual Pain, to ease the process of the dying. It looks at several different types of spiritual pain and provides real stories in how that spiritual pain can be dealt with. This, I think, is important for those that are by the bedside during a loved ones deterioration. It gives you more of a purpose in how you can facilitate a good death.

Lastly, the book provides a "tool chest". I think this section is helpful in many different spiritual-like practices that can help you process any hard situation. It illustrates how each one can be done for someone at the end of life, but I have also found them useful in my own life.

One thing that I didn't realize that would be in the book in really great prayers and quotes. It quotes a lot of ancient books of the dead and has a lot of prayers throughout that are very general in theology, but related to life and death. I found these INCREDIBLY helpful and probably to be my favorite parts of the book.

Overall, I found the book was really helpful in helping me process death and dying.

The book written by Dr. Richard Groves and co-author Henriette Anne Klauser, "The American Book of Dying: Lessons in Healing Spiritual Pain," is an excellent book on death, dying, and emotional healing of the pain caused by spiritual abuse. Groves made this brilliant and insightful statement about the damage caused by a sense of hopelessness, "Hopelessness pain is a terminal condition for the human spirit." As I stated in my book, "Spiritual Terrorism: Spiritual Abuse form the Womb to the Tomb," There is nothing which causes a greater sense of hopelessness that the overwhelming fear that God is going to punish you and/or loved ones in literal hell fire forever! This is spiritual terrorism, the most extreme form of spiritual abuse.

This well-research book draws from the rich tradition of major religions and the best in ancient cultural and religious practices to enable the dying to experience a good death that would be peaceful emotionally and spiritually painless which can also lessen, if not eliminate, physical pain. These authors cited comforting wisdom and examples from, "The Celtic Book of the Dead," "The Egyptian Book of the Dead," "The Gnostic Books for the Living and Dying," "The Tibetan Book of the Dead," and "The Monastic Books of the Dead." They tied it all together with an astute analysis of what the books of the dead have in common. "Because the books of the dead span diverse spiritual and cultural traditions, not to mention distances of centuries and geography, we would expect differences in content and philosophy. More surprising are the similarities." They went on to list six criterion of the common ground of collective-human experience at the end of life. These authors asked, "What is death?" and then explained, "For most of human history death was not the opposite of life, but the opposite of birth...Death has the power to heal because it has the power to put life into perspective and to bring forth life's important priorities. The art of dying can become the art of living."

Groves and Klauser, in the chapter, "Healing Religious Abuse and Images of God," quoted me on my definition of such abuse, "Boyd C. Purcell defines religious abuse as 'the act of making people believe, whether by stating or merely implying, that they are going to be punished in this life and or tormented in hell fire forever for failure to live life well enough to please God and thus earn admission to heaven.'" When correctly understood, no religion actually teaches this kind of works salvation but, as Groves wisely stated, "This interpretation is all too common.'" For the spiritually terrorized, this is what their fear-based religion has taught them. The healing balm is to discover love-based religion. In the section, "The Tool Chest," these authors listed 18 methods for assisting the dying in healing their image of God and explained the use of these techniques to enable patients to die peacefully. This most-helpful book is well deserving of a five-star rating.

Excellent and insightful book composed of three parts: insights into the dying process, stories of how people found peace in their dying using the Enniagram as a paradigm, and resources about the dying process. I have even used the stories from the middle section to help a person who was unable to commuicate to process their own decline and inevitable death. Teaches how to help a person prepare for their death in a wholesome and healing manner. Offers great insight into the nature of spiritual pain.
