About this ebook

AS SEEN ON THE KELLY CLARKSON SHOW - 'Heartfelt ... Gentle, refreshingly forthright' New York Times

Hospice nurse and TikTok star Hadley Vlahos shares moving stories, life lessons and wisdom from her patients in this heart-warming memoir about how end-of-life care can teach us just as much about how to live as it does about how we die.


'The combined beauty, faith, and compassion found in each patient's death is meaningful and sublime' Theresa Brown, author of The Shift

'Vlahos's compassionate, beautifully written book contains profound wisdom' Katy Butler, author of The Art of Dying Well
***

We don't often talk about dying, even in the medical field, but death is a universal part of life. An ardent advocate for compassionate end-of-life care, Hadley Vlahos shows us that the end of our lives can be rich, beautiful and transformative by sharing moving stories about how her patients' final days have changed her life.

Full of insights from real people, from the woman who never once questioned her faith until she was close to death, to the older man seeing visions of his late daughter, to the young patient who laments that she spent too much of her short life worrying about what others thought of her - each story raises vital questions about living, dying and the afterlife, inspiring us to live our lives to the fullest.

'Extraordinary ... helps dispel fear around death and dying - revealing it to be a natural part of our soul's evolution' Laura Lynne Jackson, author of The Signs

'Tender and transformative . . . it makes dying feel like a peaceful, dynamic, and nourishing event' Christie Tate, author of Group

I loved this book. And I can assure you that there really is an in between. It was emotional and beautiful to read all the stories and to see how people pass the Rainbow Bridge in an acceptable and comfortable way. Supported by a professional who thankfully still knows what caring for people and comforting them really means. Thank you for this overwhelmingly fantastic book that honours the person's for whom they were and not the number most people are today in healthcare. I really hope I can read more from this author. Thank you Hadley

Having lost my Mum to cancer and always wondering if I would ever see her again, I realise after reading this beautifully written book that I may just have a chance. Thank you so much Hadley...
