Are you caring for a loved one who is dying? Are you wondering about the appropriateness of hospice care? Are you curious about how another family got through this unique time? Are you seeking spiritual comfort as you are "on the way" in the dying process with someone you love?

If any of this sounds like you, then this book is for you. This inspiring and engaging collection of true stories and biblical reflections offers a glimpse into one family's experience of caring for their loved one who was dying. Caregiving can be isolating and is often filled with anxiety. It can become overwhelming very easily. Even with the help of professional Hospice caregivers and other family and friends, this journey will stretch you emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually in every direction.

The highs and lows of caregiving shared honestly in this book will give you reasons to laugh and opportunities to cry. Both reactions are desperately needed to help maintain your own sanity in the caregiving journey. The author understands these dynamics because she lived through them as she and her family cared for their mother.

Facing a life-limiting diagnosis often causes people to wonder where God is in all that is happening to and around them. The biblical reflections included here point to God's ongoing presence in the midst of suffering and anxiety. The themes of peace, compassion, and love are central to the message of God's unconditional grace and these reflections lift up these gifts of God.

Through the short stories and Biblical reflections shared here you'll gain a sense of peace and be:

  • inspired by the experience of another family,
  • reminded of the life-giving power of community, and
  • uplifted by the assurance of God's ongoing presence and love.
