"End of Life" is an uplifting, lyrical orchestration celebrating the end of life, right down to the last note. It empathetically parallels the classic book "What to Expect When You Are Expecting" enhancing understanding for pregnant women. "End of Life" eases fears and paints a beautiful picture of good death realities. Keegan and Drick compassionately open doors to novel ideas and explorations celebrating that death is not a hush hush topic. It needs to be embraced, honored with dignity, and regarded as the last phase of a life well-lived. This is not a nursing manual, it is a book that will benefit all who want to live their best life until their last breath. How you and your family can lovingly plan and understand before you get there. It fans fresh air on death and dying our best death. A must read for everyone.

A wonderful and unique contribution!Charlotte Eliopoulos RN, MPH, PhDExecutive DirectorAmerican Association for Long Term Care Nursing
