Hager has been shaped by both the Oklahoma prairie landscapes she has lived in, and by the leaping (or falling) off their edges: boom then bust, drought then flood, and the general human ups and downs of love and loss. When she finally reached home on the West Coast, she added San Francisco's (and Silicon Valley's) technological bubble-to-bust cycles to her resume. That learned resilience has taught her balance...and bounce in her three professions. The first as a Landscape Architect with a West Coast degree, she was licensed and practiced in five Southwestern and prairie states. The second grew from opportunities found after she moved to San Francisco and became the bootstrapped CEO of several, serial, digital mapping concerns on the edge between CD-Roms and the Internet. That ended with the bursting of many bubbles both personal and economic and an eleven-year caregiving journey of an elder began.
She fell in love with her third profession, on the edge of a place where she never wanted to be-a place where no one wants to be. She became an Interfaith hospice chaplain and a support for caregivers everywhere. Her education taught her to design with living systems and now it frames her understanding at bedside about the nature of birth, life and death-as a dynamic process within the seasons of renewal. From this place and nature, she offers thirty-one practical gifts to support caregivers in the tough and tender places of love-the front lines of illness and health.view less
