An ardent advocate for compassionate end-of-life care,Hadley Vlahos,shows us that the end of our lives can be rich,beautiful and transformative by sharing moving stories about how her patients'final days have changed her life.
Full of insights from real people,from the woman who never once questioned her faith until she was close to death,to the older man seeing visions of his late daughter,to the young patient who laments that she spent too much of her short life worrying about what others thought of her - each story raises vital questions about living,dying and the afterlife,inspiring us to live our lives to the fullest.
