Deborah Howard is a nurse and hospice volunteer who gently and wisely guides us through the final stages of death. This book is honest and humble in helping either the one dying or family and friends on decisions that need to be made, what to expect as death nears, and offers hope in Christ.
Because one death touches many lives, it is important for both those who are dying and those who love them to be prepared for the pain and grief that accompany it. Here Deborah Howard shares words of comfort and encouragement for everyone coping with suffering and death. Her compassion, firm faith in Christ, and years of working as a hospice nurse create a uniquely sensitive, experiential, and biblical volume.
Above all, she emphasizes that there is a light that cuts through death's dark shadow. That light is Jesus Christ, and He offers hope and comfort to all who are facing life's final journey.
