“This beautiful book transacts in the most meaningful of human experiences – Love, family, loss, heartbreak, forgiveness, death, and orienting through the challenging act of living. Helen speaks with the wisdom of an elder who has seen much, and has chosen to love the world anyway. The stories are perfectly sized for reading before bed, or as a thoughtful morning meditation. This book is medicine for divisive times, shining light on what makes us all family.”
~ Chris Keener, Creative Director
“It made me cry, it made me laugh, and most importantly, it made me think about life, about dying and about what’s possible. Through Helen’s reflections, one is able to view many experiences through a different lens. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to expand their living by entering the sacred space of the dying accompanied by a gifted professional.”
~ Jessica Packard, MSS
“This is such a good little book of vignettes of people in the most intimate and vulnerable stage of life. The author’s sharing her experience of holding someone’s hand or heart as they transition through this final stage to the next level, is so well written. A gentle read for anyone drawn to learn more about this final passage from life.”
~ Linda Clark Kneeland, Gestalt therapist, Artist
“Helen’s way of telling her experiences with hospice patients is extremely appealing and convincing. Her deep-rooted faith in God is a source of her love for her fellow human beings. She gives them hope on the threshold of life and death and lets us participate in it in vivid scenes.”
