Bold Spirit Caring for the Dying (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780994092755)

"Bold Spirit is a treasure and a remarkable effort which is more than a practical resource about end-of-life care... I highly recommend Bold Spirit as an important guide to understanding that even at life's end, the welfare of everyone begins and ends with the caring of mind, body, and spirit." - Charles Garfield, Author of Wisdom Circle, Last Gift, and Our Wisdom Years.
