This is a beautifully and elegantly written book that hits home for me, an experienced Critical Care Nurse Practitioner. The author weaves her own life story carefully into stories of those she had cared for and humbly addressed the myriad of emotions all of us Healthcare providers have felt when caring for someone who is struggling to adjust to existing with an acute or chronic life limiting illness. She humanizes the exchange of information, values and beliefs, expectations and realities between providers, patients, families in a way that many of us in any role from within the bed to the bedside often feel is lacking. This book invigorated me, allowed me to grieve some of our teams losses, celebrate some of our successes, and reminded me that beyond the science of treating the pathology in body systems there must be delicate understanding of how to support the human in whom this pathology exists. Highly recommend and will be sharing with colleagues!
