Live with Purpose: Die with Dignity
Christina Lufkin is an author, public speaker and advocate for the hospice model of end of life care. Her book, "Live With Purpose: Die With Dignity" is a series of vignettes, each dedicated to a life lesson she learned by caring for the dying. Christina's book is easy to read, shared in true story-teller style, bringing the reader comfortably into the world of the modern hospice volunteer. Christina has dedicated much of her life in volunteer service to others and her book is a testament to the unexpected gifts we receive when we truly give of ourselves."A warmly written account of relationships with the dying. An inspirational and informational assessment important for anyone in Hospice care or anyone involved in personal care ofthe dying."~ Suzanne Cuff, CNA"Live with Purpose: Die with Dignity is a book I simply could not put down. In each story the author shares a different experience of what it is like to be a hospice volunteer. The writing is descriptive and the words flow from the heart; I felt like I was sharing the experiences. I intend to use this book as a reference for our volunteer trainings."I would recommend this book to anyone who wonders what it is like to walk beside a person who faces a terminal illness."~ Criss East, Coordinator of VolunteersEvergreen Hospice and Palliative CareKirkland, Washington
