The Book

Collecting stories from thirty-five of America’s extra-ordinary hospices, Love, Loss, Legacy, & Life offers a vivid glimpse into the gifts that hospice offers America and its families.

From one hospice’s beautiful butterfly garden to another’s annual service of remembrance, from a volunteer’s unique way of bringing joy to a doctor’s wise and healing message, these are stories that capture the heart of what it means it live, love, serve, and be human.

Though designed to serve the dying and their families, hospice organizations are places where the force of life is powerfully felt, where timeless legacies are created and celebrated, and where love proves again and again that it has no limits, boundaries or end dates.

Joy, laughter, healing and rebirth are regular visitors to any hospice; beauty, selflessness, dedication, skill, reflection, strength, insight, and wisdom are powerfully felt as well.

Love, Loss, Legacy, & Life demystifies hospice and its workings and acknowledges the transformative gifts and wisdom of those who serve in and around hospices.

It is impossible to browse through these pages without feeling grateful, more inspired, and more alive.
