Summary: This book changed my life.
Comment: My father was diagnosed 4 years ago with colon cancer. He endured several operations, many chemotherapy treatments and although he fought to live, he was told in December 98 he had 90 days to live. My aunt bought this book for my mother in December. All 5 children have read it and participated in my fathers death (he passed away on April 23, 1999). This book saved us so much pain and helped the grieving process more than I can say. My dad's final journey was exactly like so many of the trips described in this wonderful book. We helped him pack the car and go home. We miss him terribly but I now believe there is a place much greater than this. (I didn't start reading the book until the afternoon my father was dying and I couldn't believe the things I was seeing before my eyes).
I feel I learned about a "big secret" that mysterious thing called death. I will never be afraid to go once my time comes. Buy a copy for everyone you know is dealing with a terminal illness. This is not just a book for cancer patients or elderly people.
These two woman (and the hospice program) deserve a medal. Thank you for soothing our broken hearts. Bless you all!

Summary: Written by Hospice Nurses
Comment: I read this book after my father's death on June 5, 1998, and found comfort in its pages because the shared experiences helped me to better understand the territory that my mother, younger sister and I traversed as caregivers in my Dad's final months, days, hours, minutes.
This book is a must-read for anyone who has a loved one who is dying. It is also an excellent resource for all nurses, but especially those who work with ICU, CCU or geriatric patients.
I respond to email sent by others who are in grief.

Summary: Final Gifts - a must read book!
Comment: I read the book on the year anniversary of my father's death. It was well-written. It was highly recommended by a colleague and is a very moving book written by these hospice nurses. A must read for BEFORE the dying process, but helpful for after the death of a loved one!
