Description
Wendy MacNaughton's guide to saying goodbye is a poignant exploration of the complexities of end-of-life conversations. Drawing on her experience as an artist-in-residence at the Zen Hospice Project Guest House in San Francisco, MacNaughton shares wisdom from hospice caregivers on how to make these moments meaningful. Through her framework of "the five things," MacNaughton provides a model for having conversations of love, respect, and closure. With full-color drawings throughout, this tenderly illustrated guide offers practical resources and gentle advice on creating a positive sensory experience, acknowledging what you can't control, and sharing memories and gratitude. A thoughtful and reassuring companion for those navigating difficult conversations, How to Say Goodbye shows that there is no one right way to say goodbye.
