Customer Reviews

All you want to know about hospice but were afraid to ask.

In my more than two decades working in hospice, this is the very best book I've read about end-of-life work. Barbara has written this book in a very easy-to-understand style without challenging the reader with unnecessary medical terminology. Her straight- forward approach invites readers to consider, and for many for the first time, to begin their personal exploration of end-of-life care. It's about time that those of us living in a death-denying culture develop a more comfortable understanding of death . . . especially since we all are going to have to learn to deal with it. I highly recommend this book, and I sincerely thank Barbara for her wisdom, experience, and for sharing her stories.
