sunsets: reflections for life's final journey, written by deborah howard, rn, chpn, is a book written by a christian nurse who has worked extensively in hospice and palliative care. the book is deeply rooted in scripture and incorporates her experiences as a hospice nurse. i found this book at in christ books while shopping for a bible today. after reading the beginning of chapter 1, i was moved to tears. i am looking forward to the rest of the book.
why is the concept of hospice so important to me? i can't quite put words to this tugging in my heart. i guess the combination of my dad's sudden death, and watching kids suffer and die is just the tip of the iceberg. when we move back home to honolulu this summer, i will continue to pursue my master's in nursing leadership and management in hopes of starting a pediatric hospice in hawaii one day.
