Comment by Ariana Vincent, LMT, MTI, BCTMB on February 16, 2011 at 11:40am: Welcome to this group focusing on massage therapy for the dying. Feel free to contribute. As I am writing this I am sitting with a friend of 30 years who is transitioning. He has pancreatic cancer. I feel honored to be with him during this time. I would appreciate hearing from those of you who have personal experience working with the dying and/or who have taken classes regarding offering care to the dying. I would love to deepen my knowledge regarding how to work compassionately and empathetically with people who are dying and I'd also like to learn how to best serve their family members. Your suggestions and support are welcome. Warmly, Ariana
