Had I read this book prior to watching my sister slowly die as our family suffered along with her, all of us would have eliminated a lot of pain.

Valuable information, includindg insights from major religons, and the interspersed poetry and qoutations earn it five stars

All families, professional health care givers, and hospitals should have a copy.

On Angle's Eve was a wonderful book. It made me feel that I now have the necessary tools to confidently handle a caregiving situation when the time approaches.

The book was well written, interesting and the concepts easily understood. I would highly recommend everyone read it.
