This collection of poetry explores one of the most difficult and painful subjects to make sense of in writing what it is like to care for people who are dying. Drawing on the authors' own work in hospices, the poems explore the carers' experience of supporting those who are going through the physical changes and the complex emotions that accompany ill-health and death. Encompassing a wide range of perspectives on illness, care, loss, grieving and comfort, and highlighting the centrality of the human spirit, Attending to the Fact will be an invaluable source of guidance and inspiration to professionals working with the seriously ill and dying, as well as to patients and their families.

Foreword, Dr Andrew Hoy, Chairman of the Association for Palliative Medicine of Great Britain and Ireland. Introduction, Cynthia Fuller, University of Newcastle. The Poems. List of previously published poems.

'Unflinchingly honest and intimate, Elfick and Head find the words to express the inexpressible: not only the humiliating indignities that accompany human decline and death and the ambivalent feelings evoked by intimacy, but the experience of caring for, parting from, and staying with the dying.' - Sandra Bertman, Research Professor of Palliative Care, Boston University 'These poems show the reader the human side of care... They must be essential reading for professional carers as well as for patients and families.' - Andrew Hoy, Chairman of the Association for Palliative Medicine of Great Britain and Ireland
