About this ebook
What can people at the end of their lives teach us about living well today? In this heart-warming memoir of wisdom, redemption and even joy, Hadley Vlahos beautifully shares life lessons and stories from being a palliative care nurse, and how end-of-life patients informed her sense of purpose.
With warmth and compassion, she tells the stories of patients who have changed her life. From the woman who never once questioned her faith until she was close to death, to the older man seeing visions of his late daughter and the young patient who laments that she spent too much of her short life worrying about what others thought of her, each story raises vital questions about living, dying and the afterlife, offering comfort to those navigating loss and inspiring us to live our lives to the fullest.

I loved this book. And I can assure you that there really is an in between. It was emotional and beautiful to read all the stories and to see how people pass the Rainbow Bridge in an acceptable and comfortable way. Supported by a professional who thankfully still knows what caring for people and comforting them really means. Thank you for this overwhelmingly fantastic book that honours the person's for whom they were and not the number most people are today in healthcare. I really hope I can read more from this author. Thank you Hadley

Having lost my Mum to cancer and always wondering if I would ever see her again, I realise after reading this beautifully written book that I may just have a chance. Thank you so much Hadley...
