“Katherine Arnup has been able to capture the complexity of life and living in family relationships while guiding us gently through the inevitability of death and dying. Documenting both sides of the care giving/receiving experience, this important and timely resource helps us summon the courage to have the sometimes difficult conversations with loved ones, service providers and with ourselves. A validation for those who have been a part of an end-of-life experience and an inspiration for all of us who expect to be part of one in the future ~ even if it is only our own.”
