Re-imagining the End of Life is a book designed for nurses and nurse coaches, but is relevant to anyone who wants to develop a deeper, more authentic relationship with their own mortality.

The purpose of this handbook is to provide you with opportunities for reflection and inspiration as you imagine a different approach to living and dying.

Many of us have seen firsthand that the process of navigating serious illness and death within our complex health care system is often confusing, isolating, crisis-driven, and dis-heartening. What outcomes might be possible if:

we re-imagined the end of life as a vital, purposeful stage of human development?
practices of healing – forgiveness, gratitude, and letting go – became essential parts of our care plans?
wisdom instead of fear informed our challenging decision points?
we prepared for death in order to live more fully the time that we have?
the hard work of caregiving was sustainable and meaningful for both family and professional caregivers?

You will find reflective questions and conversation-starters at the end of each of the (4) chapters…as well as many links to innovative and death-positive projects and resources in our communities.

Let this book spark rich and important conversations for yourself and the people who matter to you.
