“Once I started reading this book I couldn’t stop. It seemed like I was reading a diary of my last 25 years as a hospice physician. What a wonderful, extraordinary and uplifting gift. For a long-time ‘hospice road warrior,’ the book brought not only many smiles and frank laughter, but many tearful moments for me, too…all reminding me that this chosen work is, too, a gift.”

“Weaving stories from their decades of experience with patients, this mother-daughter team has crafted a true gem. This approachable book illuminates the need for conversations about end-of-life choices and demonstrates the grace of hospice. It is a wonderful tool to enable people of all ages to follow the sage advice, “From the start, consider the finish.”
