Their research affirms the validity of the relational and cultural lives of these patients, despite the transformations caused by the disease. Elissa Foster’s ethnographic study of a group of hospice volunteers finds that common themes emerge as the volunteers learn how to communicate with the dying. She calls for more research into this aspect of end-of-life care. The fourth article analyzes more than 100 years of data from one county’s cemeteries to draw conclusions about centenarians.
