"Hello, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m so pleased to be sharing my tips and suggestions for people navigating grief, via text message. My book, GONE FROM MY SIGHT: The Dying Experience, or “the little blue hospice book” has sold over 30 million copies and is the most beloved and widely used resource of its kind. Lots of the tips I share in the book can now be delivered straight to your phone, thanks to my partnership with Help Texts. And, when you sign up on my page, you'll receive my personal discount. Signup takes less than five minutes and you'll receive your first text message right away.
I'm also really pleased to be supporting healthcare workers via text. I have worked in many hospice roles over the past four decades including patient care manager, clinical director, nurse and volunteer, so I know how important it is to help our care workers navigate burnout and fatigue.

Take good care of yourself.
