Summary

“Straightforward and empathetic . . . Bell details what to expect in both physical and spiritual terms . . . as well as ways to find closure and cope with loss” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). 
 
As death approaches, both patient and family must cope with grief, pain, and seemingly unanswerable questions. A hospice nurse for more than a decade, Karen Whitley Bell has seen and learned much about these challenges and concerns. In Living at the End of Life, she reminds us that this difficult time also offers an opportunity to explore and rediscover the fuller, richer meaning of life. 
 
Bell has created a comprehensive, insightful guide to every aspect of hospice care and the final stages of life. She discusses the physical, emotional, and spiritual journey a dying person goes through; care-giving during this difficult period; closure, and loss and the lessons it teaches us. Through her warm yet knowledgeable voice, readers get firsthand accounts of experiences in hospice care, making Living at the End of Life accessible, reassuring, and indispensable.

In the aftermath, in addition to the heartbreaking loss of one of her 22-month-old twin boys, Justina and her husband had to cope with the physical injuries to both her and their surviving son.  The Circle of Fire chronicles her struggle to overcome the devastating consequences of this catastrophic event. Justina’s is a journey of discovery—that personal tragedy is not a life sentence to despair, anger, and continual pain and suffering, and that something positive can be salvaged from every agonizing experience, even when your faith has truly been tried by fire.
