Review Quotes: "For those of you not planning on living forever, here's the book for you. For so many reasons, we humans love to mystify death, shrouding the dying process and making it only more difficult to imagine and, in turn, more difficult to traverse. Nurse Julie has the prescription. Here you'll find all sorts of practical information, from notes on morphine to how a body winds down, all wrapped in easy and clear language. If this sounds scary or grave, don't worry. Nurse Julie will be right there with you, and she'll introduce you to some beautiful souls along the way."
--BJ Miller, author of A Beginner's Guide to the End
--Megan Devine, author of It's OK That You're Not OK "Comforting and enlightening, pragmatic and fearless, Julie gives us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to care for the people we most love when it matters most."
--Steve Leder, New York Times bestselling author of The Beauty of What Remains and For You When I Am Gone "This book is a wild and true gift to everyone who reads it. Hospice Nurse Julie guides us like a loving friend, into the very territory we are most afraid to venture: the end of life. But once there, she shows us the value of facing our own deaths, demystifies the dying process, and leaves us with the profound knowledge that life is precious and beautiful."
