Everyone facing death, their own or a loved one's, benefits from this love story and practical guide in one. Bob and Jen understood the death and dying process. Bob knew it professionally as a hospice and palliative care physician. His wife, Jen, knew about it personally, having lost her only sibling and her mother early. Bob and Jen's dinner table conversation was frequently about death. They had insights on the topic that few others have, appreciated the gravity and authenticity of the topic, and experienced profound gratitude for their own good health and loving life together. Then, the man who had spent a 40-year career caregiving was diagnosed with terminal cancer. An insightful blend of art and compassion, patience and endearing honesty, this book is Jen's art journal.
What began as a simple need to create and journal as self-care became an award-winning book that has helped thousands navigate the painful and profound path that nearly all of us will face, from caregiver to griever.
