Instigated by the Irish Hospice Foundation, whose remit it is to provide end-of-life and bereavement care, this collection provides the gift of words at a time when words can be hard to find. Designed to be a companion as much at ease in a sick room or hospital ward as at the fireside, it speaks to the fears and concerns that illness and approaching death awaken. It brings dignity to a mysterious process pondered since time immemorial, offering empathy and comfort in the most troubled times. Whether you are facing the end of life, are the family, friend or carer of someone who is, or if you are grieving, you will find solace and refuge here.
