{"product_id":"9781497538719","title":"The Last Visit : Reflections of a Hospice Nurse","description":"About her career as a Hospice Nurse and her book,Margaret Dodson says:\u003cp\u003eI have been honored to share in the living, dying, and deaths of the most extraordinary \"ordinary\" people. I have entered into lives months away from their dying and moments away from their dying. Each person I have met in this work has been etched into my heart; how could I help but be touched by them?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI realized that I needed to go away for a few days with a list of the people and families I had cared for during the year, and I needed time to spend my \"last visit\" with them privately to say goodbye. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs I sat looking at the sea and feeling so full of these stories, they began to pour from me onto these pages. I would look at a name and I was transported not only to that person but also to that family, their home, the conversations, the intimacies, the suffering, the peace and even the joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt would be presumptuous to say I have become wise by these experiences, but my gratitude for this enrichment is boundless. Much of the time I do not feel wise; yet, as the years have passed and the stories accumulate, I do feel as though I have acquired lessons to share.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lessons Margaret has learned are this book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033663488240,"sku":"9781497538719","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781497538719_p0.jpg?v=1763702435","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781497538719","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
