MEET YOUR GUIDE...TO A MORE PEACEFUL PASSAGE...

Taking care of a loved one on their final journey can be one of the richest, most life-affirming experiences you'll ever have. And perhaps the hardest one you'll ever go through.

There's far more involved than just hospice details and your loved one's constant physical and emotional needs. There are your needs as well - as your "regular" life obligations collide head-on with this potentially all-encompassing commitment.

Enter Peaceful Passage, a true labor of love from professional counselor Kim West. West was at her mother's side during her last months of life and chronicled the whole process in order to provide a comprehensive and proven blueprint for others to follow.


IN THE PAGES WITHIN, YOU'LL FIND PRACTICAL GUIDELINES FOR:

  • Determining first steps once you've heard the news
  • Charting a course with hospice as your partner
  • Dealing with your loved one's emotional roller-coaster
  • Navigating demands of marriage, family, children and career
  • Handling the daily, ongoing physical challenges and demands
  • Confronting common fears and unresolved emotional issues
  • Preparing for and experiencing the final days with dignity and purpose
  • Working through inner conflicts around faith and God
  • Managing the myriad post-passage details and arrangements
  • Finding closure, returning to routine and reflecting on the journey

Throughout Peaceful Passage, you'll find checklists and resources to keep you on track, and at each chapter's end, journaling pages invite readers to record their experiences.

Unlike other books that focus on one part of the process, Peaceful Passage is your essential, all-in-one guide to handling every aspect of this often heart-wrenching and heartwarming journey. Use it to help ease the burden of your loved one's final passage, while making it a peaceful - and, yes, even joyous - one.
