Looking Forward

Looking Forward is a short read with veins of gold, upbeat and written with humility. Most approaches to death planning are disease focused. Looking Forward applies to everyone in every situation. - Zail S. Berry, MD, PMH, Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine Physician, Burlington, VermontYou put into words what many of us struggle to know how to approach, and you do so in a way that is practical and comforting. I will share this with many people. - Marilee J. Aronson, Licensed Clinical Psychiatrist, Washington, DC I absolutely love the format and tone of Looking Forward. By leading with your curiosity and with the questions that you asked yourself, you offer a warm invitation for readers to engage with death and planning for it. - Mike Young, Executive Director, Hope and A Home (retired), Washington, DC That was a beautiful read. Your words open a lot of important conversations. - Mark Gabel, UVM Health Center Hospice Volunteer, Colchester, Vermont. Our Couples Group appreciated Being Mortal by Atul Gawande. Your book seems like a natural follow-up. - Sally Dowling, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (retired), Gaithersburg, Maryland Is there such a thing as dying well? Can we prepare for that? Here are stories about the author s quest for answers and the saints who offered help along the way.
