First published 2008
Trudy Harris started working in hospice care in 1981 and rose to become president of the Hospice Foundation for Caring. Over decades, she witnessed hundreds of patients take their final breaths. Many described extraordinary experiences in their last moments: visits from deceased relatives, angelic presences, unearthly music, and colors that don't exist on Earth. Harris collected more than forty of these accounts into stories that reveal what the dying see and hear. She addresses the difficult questions that emerge at life's end. How should you speak to someone who is dying? What actually happens during death? How can you help a dying friend feel secure? Do people truly encounter angels and departed loved ones in their final hours? Harris draws on her extensive experience to provide answers. The book opens a window into the mysterious transition from life to death and explores what the dying can teach those who remain.
