... In my essay, I am going to touch on a type of communication that is usually put aside by many of us; touch.
Therapeutic Touch
Of all our senses, touch is the first to develop. ... The loving touch of our parents and other people around us is essential for our growth, if touch is inhibited or absent, it is reflected in our self-esteem, our confidence and the ability to function and evolve into a socially acceptable adult. Touch may be the last way we communicate at life’s end. Between infancy to death exists many moments where touch with loving intention creates a bridge from one person to the other.
