RECOMMENDATION OF DON SCHUMACHER PRESIDENT & CEO OF NATIONAL HOSPICE & PALLIATIVE CARE ORGANIZATION
We met in the lobby of the hotel where the Nebraska State Conference was being held. He was the opening speaker; I was a break-out session facilitator and the closing speaker. It was an honor to be able to speak with him.
Upon parting he said,
"I validate your work, your heart, your mission and hope you will continue to feed the spirits of hospice staff, volunteers and family caregivers."
I promised that I would!

ENDORSED BY HOSPICE INTERNATIONAL
"This book is a tasteful collection of poems, prayers and meditations that I think would be useful to any caregiver dealing with end-of-life issues. It is very much in the spirit of palliative care - where you may be unable to add days to the life, you add life (and meaning) to the days. Reading how one couple achieved this would be both comforting and inspirational to others in a similar situation."
Roger Woodruff Director of Palliative Care Hospice International
What is it that you want? What is it that will take your heart and let it soar high above the mountain top Up into the air like an eagle in flight Unguarded And unafraid What is it?
