You"re returning home from a conference at the other end of the county, switch on the answering machine at two in the morning and hear the words, "I m dying." First, you know it just can"t be true--she"s been a hypochondriac all her life--but this time it may be. How do you literally drop a full life overnight to run a home hospice? This book is written by a younger sister, a psychotherapist and Psychosynthesis trainer. It"s a story we all need to know as the population grows older, and most become caregivers in the home at some point. Included are many useful quotes, references from experts like James Pennebacker and Steven Levine, and the author"s reflections.
