Anyone who is grieving, preparing to die, caring for ill loved ones, or interested in exploring new ways to view spirituality and death will value this essential tool for healing and prayer. As an introduction to hospice, the book maintains that hospice care is an experience grounded in spirituality - the force that binds everything together.

This interconnectedness of all things is demonstrated in inspirational stories, poetry, scripture, prayers, and guided meditations that will assist those wishing to go spiritually deeper. Further supported by chapters on grief, relaxation tools, and a wealth of additional reference materials, the book becomes a treasury of hope and healing that reframes the experience of death as one of transformation - a new adventure in life.

"I have searched through many books to use as a text for my Death & Dying, Life & Living class. I sought to go beyond dry, sterile, pedantic and information crammed books which were ultimately fear based. I chose The Last Adventure of Life because it is reader friendly, alive, a resource and repository of hope, kindness, and love."
