Published Under the Garamond Imprint Dying and death reflect the material and social conditions of societies. For example, dying and death come frequently and early in life in a society where there is widespread poverty. In contrast, dying and death typically come late in life in a more developed society?such as Canada at the beginning of the twenty-first century. How we live influences how and at what age we die; similarly, dying is both a personal experience and a social function given shape and meaning by social practices and cultural definitions. The bereaved grieve and mourn in both personal and social terms and the meaning assigned to dying and death is both personally and socially constructed. This book is written for students who wish to learn about dying and death, for practitioners who work with the dying and the bereaved, for the dying and the bereaved themselves, and for the general public. The first part explores the causes of dying and death in Canada both historically and at present. The second part examines societal and cultural responses to dying and death, and the third part discusses dying and death from the personal points of view of the dying and the bereaved. The entire book has been thoroughly revised and updated, integrating the most recent theory and literature on death and dying. Herb Northcott is Professor of Sociology at the University of Alberta. He is the author of Aging in Alberta (Detselig, 2005). Donna M. Wilson is in the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Alberta. She does extensive clinical work and research on the issue of end-of-life care.

Dying and Death in Canada provides a comprehensive, up-to-date examination of dying, death, and bereavement from a Canadian perspective. The fourth edition covers current issues and recent developments in the field, such as the implementation of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) and the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. New topics include death doulas, death tourism, psychogenic death, bonds between the living and the dead, mass death events, and cultural diversity, sensitivity, and competence. This edition combines current research and language used to destigmatize conversations surrounding suicide, while new case studies offer personal accounts from doctors, nurses, and family members of the deceased. Exploring the significance of end-of-life experiences, Dying and Death in Canada shows that how we live influences how we die, and the society and culture in which we live has a profound effect on how we behave when confronted with dying and death.

Death is inevitable, but our perspectives about death and dying are socially constructed.

Additionally, Auger explores alternative methods for helping dying persons and their loved ones deal with death in a holistic, patient-centred way. Each chapter includes suggested readings, discussion questions and in-class assignments.
