with her patients and con-
tinues to counsel them by
telephone from her bed.
Jean was a key speaker at
the conference and her
message was one of hope,
trust and gratitude to all
Care Givers; because
without their help in the
management of pain, she
would not have been able to
do the things that she has
done over the past three
years and to speak at the
conference that day. She has
recently written a book, 'FOE-
All
FbrAll That Has Been: A Time
To Live And A Time To Die'.
Some of the books and
tapes from the speakers'
workshops were purchased
for the Goderich hospital's
nursing library and are
available for Shared Ser-
vices.
Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
spoke on 'Children Facing
Death'. The famous Swiss
psychiatrist is doing most of
her work in the United
States. Her concerns lie deep
within the family structure
and the fabric of,society. She
said that people with a ter-
minal illness are blessed
because they have time to
prepare to die - to get their
house in order, to have a
friend or family to talk to
them; and there are support
services such as Palliative
Care. But she is concerned
about those who have no sup-
port service.
"In the United States one
million children run away
from home each year and
ten thousand of them . are
murdered: The third cause
of death of our beautiful
children between the ages of
6-16 years of age is suicide."
She receives 5,000 letters
each year from, desperate

reference
parents who do not know
where to get help. She said
that 95 percent of these
suicides can be prevented,
and the answer lies in
parents giving unconditional
love to their children. Too
often love is bought. It is
given and withheld depen-
ding on the child's
behaviour., While limits are
set and certain behaviour is
not condoned, the child must
know that he is loved no mat-
ter what.
Her advice to all mothers
was from the moment that
the child is born until he is
one year ord to physically
touch and hold that child,
especially during that first ,
year of life. The human be-
ing is made up of four
quadrants: physical,
spiritual, emotional and- in-
tellectual. The physical
touch is so important to the
development of the other
quadrants.
Similarly, when a person
is in physical pain, he will
not hear a prayer or a coun-
sel. He needs to be kept pain-
free and conscious in order
tb have his other needs met -
spiritual, emotional, etc.
She 'said that love is a
physical maturity - that
touches, holds, and hugs. In
the United States six billion
dollars is spent on lotions to
get rid of wrinkles. She
would like to take that
money and set up a program
to bring toddlers of working
mothers into nursing homes
to teach children whatlove is
all about. If we would give
our elderly Tulconditional
love, with physical touching,
they would not have to flee
into senility.
Her work with terminally
ill children has taught her
many things. Under the
spiritual quadrant, dying
children intuitively know
the probability of the time of
death and they express this
though symbolic languages
(drawings, etc.)
She said that people can-
not help the dying to com-
plete unfinished business if
they have a pocket full of un-
finished business
themselves; that people who
are tuned in to the spiritual
quadrant will neither fear
life or death; that working
with the dying and Their
families is not depressing. 11
is only depressing if we can't
let go. She stressed the im-
portance of listening to your
patients.
