I've always thought that the people who work for hospice are at least part angel. Judy Flickinger is no exception. She's used her experiences with dying people, her insight, and her wisdom to provide sound and uplifting advice for people in the final phase of their lives. I highly recommend this book for both caregivers and for people who want to stay truly alive until the very end.

When an end-of-life condition develops, depression, confusion, and misunderstanding prevail among the patients, physicians, nurses, and families. The tragedy is that the spirit often dies before the patient. Insight into a solution to this spiritual failure is ably provided by Judy Flickinger, RN, in her book. Through her stories and lessons, the author demonstrates how the patient's treatment can be modified and the environment adjusted to restore the failing spirit. Flickinger shares her experience and knowledge in guiding the patient, family, and medical personnel to a positive outcome. This book is important reading for every one of us, including those in the medical field.
