"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

"You could have heard a pin drop. Joy's story and her poet's way of telling it touched our hearts and minds."
- Linda Timmer Director of Member Services Tennessee Hospice Organization
"You captivated an audience of over 200
people by sharing your stories and addressing the spiritual and
emotional issues while in the midst of a crisis. While you spoke, tears
were shed by both men and women because souls were touched by an
understanding of despair, hope, grief and sadness."
- Kathy Sims
former Director of Volunteers
Hospice & Palliative Care of the Charlotte Region
Charlotte, NC, USA
"She was powerful and a genuine gift. I gained much from her testimony." "She was inspiring and uplifting. I was blessed to share in her experience." "Joyce Sheldon was very powerful. Fantastic! Wonderful! A genuine gift."
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?
When faith overcomes fear When the power of the virtue Surges high above the doubt That is when the heart shall fly And soar And feel the freedom That ultimate place Of peace and serenity Of confidence And trust That is when The world will shrink Into nothingness And all that matters Are two hearts Joined together In faith
