My terminally ill mother died in September 2009, and my experience with her during her last year was the basis for the article. After she died, my grief found expression on the pages of what would become a memoir about love and loss, grief and gratitude. Published in August 2011, WHEN ALL THAT'S LEFT OF ME IS LOVE is much more about living and loving than about dying and grieving, though it is proving helpful to those who are anticipating death or grieving loss. It is fundamentally about living fully and joyfully even while anticipating death. If you are interested, you may read more about it at www.lindacampanella.tateauthor.com. Perhaps you would consider including it among San Diego Hospice's end-of-life reading options.
