| Abstract: | This article presents a review of the literature on counseling adults with terminal illness, particularly the literature on the nature of preparation that counselors and other professionals who attend to the needs of adults with a terminal illness require. The authors review information and findings from philosophical, psychological, practical, and spiritual works. It is evident from these readings that a personal and professional examination of making meaning of life and death is integral to the performance and personal well‐being of professionals who take this caregiving role. |
