Reviews

The book is easy to read and is essential to all who work and care for those at the end of life. --David Shields, RN, MSN, QTTT Assistant Professor of Nursing Capital University| The book is thought provoking and, if you are like me, you will be assessing (consciously or subconsciously) how good you or your service are at providing holistic care around the time of death. It deserves to be widely read and I hope it starts many a conversation. IAHPC Newsletter| [This book] is a gem. It is a rare balance of an interesting read with an incredible integration of factual information. I intend to share it in my long term care circles...A wonderful contribution! Charlotte Eliopoulos,RN, MPH, PhD Executive Director American Association for Long Term Care Nursing| Every once in a long while a short, succinct book comes along that awakens our senses and motivates us to action. [This] is one such book. It cuts right to the chase to offer a new, innovative change for an old, outmoded rite of passage. Barbara Dossey, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN Co-Director, Nightingale Initiative for Global Health, Canada and Virginia Director, Holistic Nursing Consultants, New Mexico (From the Foreword)
