compassionate care for the dying
“When Autumn Comes is filled with lessons we all need to learn. Read it and you will
find yourself able to listen to others, face your fears and learn about life from the wisdom
of others and from the great teacher, death.”
Bernie Siegel, M.D. author ofB 365 Prescriptions for the Soul and Help Me to Heal
ultimately we will all
lose someone we love...
 When Autumn Comes will help you appreciate and
respond to the important needs and delicate issues of
our final passage through life. With wisdom and sensitivity,
it gives practical keys for creating a holistic, comforting
environment for those nearing the end of life so they can
face death with peace and dignity.
The author shares her intimate relationship with death
in the loss of her lover and close friends and in her many
years of experience at the bedside of the dying as a hospice
volunteer. Her moving journey through grief, tears
and companionship shows how we can find greater
compassion and understanding in caring both for the
dying and for ourselves in our time of loss.
“When Autumn Comes shows us that, with compassionate care, the end of life can
be a time of personal growth and healing for the dying and their loved ones.”
Dannion Brinkley, chairman and founder
of Compassion
in Action and author of Saved by the Light
Mary Jo Bennett lives in Bozeman, Montana.
