Book Review



So...mom read this book and thought I might like it...
I borrowed it...I read it...

This book gave me a sense of peace.
Peace with death...
Peace with dying in general...
Peace about my dad's recent death...
Peace about grandma's recent death...
Peace at the thought of my own mortality.
I had more peace in my heart and spirit than I had ever known in my entire life!
As a nurse of many years myself, I could relate to the patient stories...
Having recently lost several loved ones to death, I related as a grieving family member...
But most significantly, as a believer in God, I felt his presence deeper, richer and more supportive than ever!

Trudy, a long time Hospice Nurse, does a terrific job sharing the "end of life" stories of several patients and loved ones throughout her life. Instead of remaining uncertain or scared of the transition from this world to the next... you put the book down with a sense of warm understanding.

I don't drive his truck as well as I should to go out on my own for the day, besides a good insightful partner would probably make my journey a little easier. I called my step-mom and she said she would be right over and take me wherever I needed to go. As I got ready to go my husband and my boys were ...

Long Time No Post

Life has been a whirlwind of activity, work, travel, family events and motion. While I embrace life in forward motion it is a special jewel when a moment of calm presents itself. So many people are caught in a whirlwind of, "life in motion" these days... As I talk with friends and family members my prayer list grows ever longer and my spirit can struggle to "focus on the positive"... In my heart I truly believe that focusing on the positive and working through the challenges is the best way to navigate this life. I have so very much that I am grateful for... so many blessings... God will help manage the rest:-)
