United StatesAmazing Guides
While I had Hospice Care in place for my mother, these pamphlets were provided to me and while the information provided clarity on what I was experiencing and what was to come, I appreciated the knowledge. Since she passed, I've re-read them and they have provided comfort. I recently ordered them for a friend who was going through the same experience with a spouse and her reaction has been the same. THANK YOU for producing these guides, they have been tremendously helpful.
United StatesWith sincere thanks
'Gone from my sight' has been a wonderful comfort to our family as we gather around my husband's bedside, preparing for the inevitable. Our hospice nurses are so kind, respectful and loving. My husband spent his whole life as Ordained clergy in the United Church of Christ ( Congregational). I thought we, as his family, had a handle on end of life stuff but this wonderful little book is just what we needed.

These are a God send. I received them years ago from a hospice nurse during some difficult times. After receiving services from hospice and the passing of both my parents 9 mo. Apart. I decided to go into to the field in order to help others through difficult times. I received my certification as an End of Life Doula and work closely with the hospice team. These books provide much needed understanding and help so many families as well as myself. Thank you so much.

I have been using this book as a teaching tool since the 1990's. This booklet is written in a simple and easy to read format. Families read and reread this book. They pass it around from one family member to another. They refer back to it, time and time again. Every now and then, I will read it again and I still find it helpful and comforting. I believe that God must have inspired you to write those words. They have comforted and helped more people than you will know, this side of heaven. Thank you :)
