@article{oai:mukogawa.repo.nii.ac.jp:00000064, author = {大西, 次郎 and OHNISHI, Jiro}, journal = {武庫川女子大学紀要. 人文・社会科学編}, month = {Mar}, note = {It is often the case that elderly individuals who are aware of approaching death have concerns about how they will be treated after death, and wish to, and / or are unable to, talk about them. The issues of concern are not limited to spirituality, the self in the minds of others, and unity with nature. Issues related to the funeral - for instance, how the body will be treated, who will claim the body, when the body will be cremated and buried, and how the cremated remains will be handled - dominate their concerns. From a chronological perspective, a funeral takes place after one’s passing: nonetheless, it is a current-life event about to unfold in a matter of days. Funerals are, thus, construed as a part of life’s journey by the elderly. However, only families of the deceased are treated as the subjects of grief care: the deceased are, of course, excluded from the care process. It is presumed that care / support providers, being caught in such a discrepancy, have neglected and failed to respond to the feelings of the elderly about funerals. I argue that those providing end-of-life care and support should actively engage with and discuss funeral-related issues with elderly individuals.}, pages = {63--73}, title = {葬儀という相談援助 ―高齢者本人への関わり―}, volume = {59}, year = {2012}, yomi = {オオニシ, ジロウ} }
