Healing in many forms can ease end of life transition The author describes changing attitudes toward dying in America and her personal experience with the loss of her husband from cancer in 1993. She nursed her husband at home until he died, with the guidance of Dr. Anna Lups, a physician trained in therapeutic care for the dying which is based on the philosophy of the Austrian mystic and scientist Rudolf Steiner (1861- 1925). Elements included in this particular protocol include use of homeopathy, massage, creating an atmosphere of peace and beauty, detoxifying the body with enemas, and minimizing the use of drugs in order to allow the people who are dying to be as conscious as possible in order to meet their death. The author also describes the support of the community after the death and the involvement of children in the event.
