Janny Adkins writes a wonderful book that assists Health Care professionals, patients, and their loved ones. In describing the differences between traditional “curing,” and holistic “healing,” Janny offers us a structure for integrating caring . There is a marvelous wisdom to understanding both the value of Evidence Based modern medicine, but as well, its limitations. When there is no capacity to “cure,” Janny spells out for us a pathway to “heal.”
Janny is a powerful advocate for Hospice Care. Her many years of experience as a Hospice Nurse come through in this book. Although modern medicine can cure many conditions, we are still faced with diseases that lead to debility and death. We cannot afford to either abandon Scientific based cures, or rely solely on science when it reaches obvious limits. Doctors, Nurses, all members of the Hospice Team, patients and families have a need to find a bridge between Scientific and Spiritual care.
“Help Healing Happen” offers useful tools for us all. As a Hospice Medical Director I believe this book offers sage advice on blending Modern Medicine, with the Spiritual balance that we need in difficult times.
