"This book shares invaluable information about the dying process and is power-packed with inspirational stories. My one complaint is that the chapters are not equally balanced and the end resultantly feels rushed."
"Okay, a depressing topic, but one many of us are faced with. If someone close to you is terminally ill, I highly, highly recommend reading this book. I found it very comforting, answered many questions for me, and above all helped me process what the hell was happening and get through it."
"This book was written by 2 hospice nurses. It's important to give the loved one 'permission to die'. They also address the various reactions to dying: anger, denial, acceptance, bargaining, depression. And they provide some signs when death is close. This book helps the caregiver be a better caregiver. I highly recommend it."
"This book is amazing for anyone going into the health care realm, or just wishes to believe in something beyond what is explainable. The book takes on the stories of two nurses, I believe, that have written down their experiences with patients who are dying. Every story is inspirational and will more than likely unsurface some feelings and tears that you didn't see coming.
I read this book in about a day and a half and could not put it down. Maybe it is my fascination with the unknown or belief that there is always someone or something else out there that is looking after us...either way, I felt like I could relate to all of the different experiences or had a better understanding of the final stages of life."
