Sharon,

This review is from: I'm Here to Help: A Guide for Caregivers, Hospice Workers, and Volunteers (Paperback)
I am somewhat disappointed in this book. I felt that many of the "hints" were written over and over. This book could have been written in half the pages and still have been somewhat valuable. I will use this as somewhat as a reference for a while, but will look forward to finding more books with more information. I just went through a volunteer session through hospice and this book left me feeling that there was alot missing.

Practical and Very Helpful,
This review is from: I'm Here to Help: A Guide for Caregivers, Hospice Workers, and Volunteers (Paperback)
I was honored to speak with M. Catherine Ray before she died. She was very helpful to me in publishing my book WHAT THE DYING TEACH US: LESSONS ON LIVING. She has a servant's heart that shines through every word in her book. This book offers practical advice to anyone working with the dying. It is a classic. -- Samuel Oliver
