A must-have book for members of the palliative care team.”–Serife Eti, MD, program director of the Fellowship in Hospice and Palliative Medicine in the department of pain medicine and palliative care at Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, NY

Her words point toward a path of healing–for the dying, for their loved ones, and for those professionals who accompany them on their journey.” –James Hallenbeck, MD, author of “Palliative Care Perspectives”“This book is a gift from an inspiring and extremely skillful psychologist and palliative care practitioner.
