hills Death consideredpornographicby most specialist in counselling the dying says By RICHARD INNSTAN Examiner Staff Writer Never break an appointment withadyingpatient someone with terminal disease wants to see you at 10 am Dr Mwalimu lmara told seminar on death Wednesday at Georgian College there is good reason for it Wait until 1015 and that patient may die before you get there And that in turn may mean that the patient dies alone one of the worst fears of the ter minallyill One thing we generally fear is being deserted when were dying Dr Imara specialist in counselling the dying and bereaved told an audience estimated at650 Dr Imara Canadian now working in Boston was last minute replacement for Dr Elisabeth KuhlerRoss author of numerous books and articles on death and dying who could not attend the allday seminar because of the illness of her husband Dr Imara Unitarian minister and director of the Boston Centre for Religion and Psychotherapy counselling agency has been associated with Dr Ross since 1967 Im no stand in for Elisabeth he told the audien ce Youre really missing something But he drew standing ovation when he left the stage at 430 to catch plane back to Boston PORNAGRAIIIIL Socfuty today tends to make people inhuman Dr lmara saidand the dying often face rejection from hospital per sonnel and relatives partly because death unlike sex is still considered pornographic by most people Helping the dying he said means bringing love and ser vice to bear on the problem being willing to listen to talk or not to talk as the situation demands and providing con crete and genuine assurance that the patient will not in fact be deserted The process starts with in forming the patient that his illness is terminal They are likely to know anyway he saidand they have right to be told The telling should be done by the doctor because it is too great burden for the family to shoulder and there should be someone else with the patient atthetime People are still told alone and it is horrible he said Whats more the patient should not be told how long he has to live no one really knows and some people with only few weeks live for years FIVE STAGES Terminal patients according to Dr Ross go through five stages after learning of their light denial anger argaining depression and ac ceptance The dying will not believe the news at first Dr lmara and this denial serves useftil purpose and should be allowed to run its course You cant cope with this sudden change Everything is different from this moment on he saidWe can drive people into panic by not respec tingtheirdenial The proper approach he said is to leave the patient alone but with assurance that we will be there when needed Next comes anger resent ment at everyone who is not in thesameboat If you cant stand to hear it check out somebody who can They need somebody to bounce that anger off he said Anger will pass if it doesnt get pushed down Then comes bargaining with the doctor with ones self with God Id give anything if People seem calm and realistic at this stage Dr lmara said but they arent and as bargaining proves futile they sink into depression SILENTLY At this stage he said patien ts grieve ovcr their impending death over the things theyve never done the life theyve failed to live They face period of waiting to find out who they really are and the counsellor has to wait with them silently find it very hard to be with somebody when theyre doing that he said What find people do is borrow your strength at that time to wait and see Finally comes acceptance and the patient knows who he is and what he wants llis needs are less but his demands to have those needs fulfilled are quite strong Ilis concern is with how he will spend the rest of his life and if in fact he does not die he will be changed person You arent likely to be able to put any snow over them any more Dr lmara said Youve got different charac ter on your hands There are three charac teristics of people who go through these stages quickly and easily Dr lmara said Fir st they are concerned about things and people beyond their own skin Secondly they can arrange their priorities to give up less valuable things for things of greater value And thirdly they have coherent ex planation for the world sense of something greater than themselves They feel at home in the world he said Not only do such people go through the stages well Dr lmara said but they often outlive their predicted death as well THE BEREAVIZI Dealing with the bereaved is also an area of concern for Dr Imara and he em hasized the importance of wor ing through pain of expressing it so that it does not cause problems in otherways Grief is work It doesnt go away in time he said And if left unexpresscd it czinfcause illness or death irrational behavior or other problems Typically he said it takes two years to work completely through an episode of grief and the cruellest part is that in the meantime it is hard to believe sorrowing will ever end The future tends to get lost in grief he said The most difficult form of grief to deal with he said is that caused by sudden death particularly when the body is 10t recovered Its tremendoust im oortant for the bereaved to 11W where the body is he an lhe seminars 697 seats had een sold out in advance and ollcge officials ran up large elephone bill letting registran know Dr Ross would not be oming Registrants were of ercd their money back but few ecm to have accepted the of er The seminar attracted people rom as faraway asllamilton Active euthanasia wrong press conference is told Keeping human vegctables alive is barbaric Dr Mwalimu lmara said Wednesday at press conference but active euthansia is wrong too dont believe in positively actively terminating anyones life he said Ile said heroic medical measures should not be used to keep patient breathing if there is no real chance con sciousness will be regained But he opposed removing life sup port systems from terminal pa tients who are conscious even iftheyr uestit Most want to die before their time he said change their minds if someone becomes involved in their lives He said no one should have life support cut off because care is burden to others nor because organs are needed for transplants On other subjects The cryogenic movement which involves freezing the dead until cure is found for the disease that killed them think the cryogenic movement is an unfortunate hoax played on people He said freezing does cell dama which makes recovery impro able and the whole pro cess is denial of the facts of humanlife WE DIE Were born and we die he said However he said many of those involved in the movement are sincere 0n life after death he said anyone who works with the dead as much as he does begins to see things that cant be ex plained away In particular he said he believes the dead sometimes come back to visit the bereaved Somepeported ex periences can be explained as psychological projections he said but others cannot On funerals Dr lmara said he does not take cynical at titude toward funeral directors who perform necessary func tion Some exploit the be reaved he said but many more are great help to them He said he would not dictate what sort of funeral people should have but op ses the movement toward ispensing with funerals altogether there has to be recognition of the assing of human being from the community On the importance of religion to accepting death religion doesnt help much Hesaidt eimportant thing is not what the patients religious beliefs are but how they fit into his thinking how they work for him and this depends mainly on what sort of person by is GORI BURKE LOCAL AND GENERAL COMMITTEES FORMED The
