Publisher's Summary:

Death...takes only a moment; you breathe out and you don't breathe in - that is death. On the other hand, dying can take a very long time, and depending on how you approach it, it can be either a miserable, sometimes terror-filled experience or an enlightening adventure. In Spirit Matters: How to Remain Fully Alive with a Life-Limiting Illness, Judy Flickinger offers a seldom-considered but all-important perspective on what really matters at the end of life. As retired hospice nurse turned author, Judy focuses on the importance of keeping the spirit - the person inside the dying body - alive and well during the course of a life-limiting illness.

Spirit Matters exposes the motives, misconceptions, and lack of knowledge that often prevent dying people from receiving the type of care that can create and maintain a healthy spirit. The message in Spirit Matters is conveyed in eleven lessons illuminated by the personal stories of dying people and their families. Readers will learn, laugh, cry, and hopefully realize that near the end of life, first and foremost, Spirit Matters.

Should be required reading for all hospice volunteers.

I would recommend this book for anyone who is or is considering being a hospice volunteer, is in a terminal illness for themselves or a loved one, or anyone who needs to find more empathy and compassion for their health related career fields.

I have a close friend who is terminal and i wish he and his caregiver family would read it as well. I think everyone who is in this situation needs to understand how important end of life wishes matter and can be obtained with the right information.

I love this book and have given it to several folks because it's so relevant to those that are ill or growing old...

Spirit really does matter.

This is a book that should be read by all caregivers,family members of persons going through their last phase of life on earth, medical personnel and hospice workers. Judy gave us an insite as to how a patient's treatment and environment is so important to keep up spirit and self worth while preparing for death. Spirit Matters is an inspirational book for all.
