More true stories of the tender beauty of life’s end

There is more to death than simply ceasing to live. In Glimpses of Heaven, retired hospice nurse Trudy Harris offered an intimate look at the final days and moments of terminally ill and dying people. Now she shares more of her stories and also stories from other medical and hospice professionals, allowing the veil to be drawn back on God’s handiwork, while we are both living and dying.

If you have lost a loved one, are facing a terminal illness, or are simply curious about what happens when we pass from life to death, More Glimpses of Heaven offers you an even deeper insight into God’s plan for our lives every day.

ISLAND BREEZES
Even though I’ve worked mental health for the last three years, I’m still a hospice nurse at heart. I was homesick for the island, so took the present position in order to get back over here.

There’s a very good hospice system here on the mainland, but very few openings. Hospice nurses just don’t quit. The stories in this book show you why we love this field of nursing.

Our patients and their families open up their lives and hearts to us. The path of a hospice nurse is a two way street. My heart tells me I received maybe more than I was able to give. I received love, comfort, peace and fulfillment as I provided ease and comfort to patients in their final stage of life, and support ant guidance for their loved ones.
