Format:Paperback
For oncology workers, professional or otherwise, and for all hospice workers, including volunteers,this little book is exceedingly valuable. The book is a collection of anecdotal stories of the dying process of a variety of individuals. The stories are written with great sensitivity, wisdom, and gentle humor. At the close of each chapter is an inspiring prayer, relevant to the situation just described. The authors have written a very personal account of their experiences with the dying. This book < I believe, will lead the reader into a different way of looking at death-a way both practical and realistic, as well as highly spiritual.

This book has provided so much comfort for myself and the people that I have purchased copies for. With so many of us losing ones we love, it is so comforting to hear such heartwarming and tearful stories from a caregiver. I applaud the book and highly recommend it to anyone grieving. Thank you so much for a wonderful book. I can't say enough.

very good
Each story ends with a meditation, a prayer and a thought for one thing you can do for today. It helped me with personal losses and I will recommend it to those in my profession.
