Listen Later

Tracy Chalmers has written a guidebook we can all lean on. Rooted in five principles of care, she offers practical ways to walk alongside the dying, build a web of support as a caregiver, and navigate the inevitable storms of an end-of-life journey. The Nature of the Journey: A Trail Guide for Companioning Your Person on the End-of-Life Journey is a resource you’ll return to again and again. What can a companion do to foster connection? How do we “lean out” for help? What does it mean to bring presence to the bedside in an age of distraction? With clarity and compassion, this expert shares “applied wisdom” you can use right now. And she reminds us: “There are no do-overs.”
