Free Press, 2004

You MUST READ THIS BOOK!
2 days ago I spent 2 hours with my mother who is sick and not expected to live to much longer. I haven't spent time with her like that for 17 years. Over the years there have been so many misunderstandings, cross words, mean letters, siblings fighting and talking about each other and I honestly thought it was hopeless. I thought I would never see my mother again. Ever. It was a MESS! ...

They offer practical advice about talking to doctors, how to understand your own feelings and to care for yourself when a ...

Being with Dying: Cultivating Compassion and Fearlessness in the Presence of Death

Joan Halifax

Shambhala, 2008

Straight from and to the heart
Healthy, clear, concise guidance, including reflective meditation to care for those who are dying. At the same time in developing compassion and fearlessness to face the dying, it concurrently provides a guide for healthy living. Who knows what is most important in life? Those who deny it and live on in ignorant bliss, or those for whom it is already knocking on their door.

A Sincere Thank You
I wanted to take a few minutes and thank you for the inspiration, hope, and peacefulness that I got out of reading your book, "Dying Well". My Mom, who was 84 last December, had been ill with cancer for about 2 years, and these last few months had been really rough with her oncologist chasing tumor after tumor. Just about a month ago, I purchased your book, and read it, and it gave me great ...
