Denise, Very heartening to learn about your book. I will like to share my personal experiences of my wife, father & mothers’ s passing. Passing away in America with Indian cultural background – this may be a part of the answer for our healthcare today! Nitin.

Thanks for your support Eileen! Yes, I hope my book, Parting Ways, will be a map or at least compass like this blog in providing direction and inspiration on how to accompany those you love on the end of life journey. It's the kind of book that will help you open conversations that could unveil the denial and alleviate the fears that block our loved ones from experiencing intimacy, grace and dignity. I've often heard that each person is so alive in my book! They exemplify what you call "radical resilience". I'd love to know your thoughts after reading the book! With gratitude, Denise

Just ordered your book. This is so timely and so few of us know how to help those we love move to the signpost of life with grace and dignity. May I also recommend another book to your reader: Final Gifts.

I look forward to reading your words!
