In more than 3 decades of working in hospitals and hospices with the dying and their families, I can attest to the immeasurable value of the profound healing that happens when families create memorable farewells. “Leaving your Light On” is a must read for everyone, especially those who work with the dying and their family or those who are currently living the reality. ~Maria Giannotti MA, MSc, Specialist in End of Life Care and Spirituality
