    About this ebook

    “A very thought-provoking read. Aging and end-of-life preparation is . . . an important discussion . . . It can help make a difficult time less stressful.”—Sylvia E. J. Kidd, Director of Family Programs, Association of the US Army

    After enduring several painful months witnessing the decline and ultimate death of a loved one, author Charlie Hudson recognized that she needed to radically change her views on the realities of aging. Known for her easy storytelling style in both nonfiction and fiction, Hudson departs from her usual subject matter here, tackling aging, mental decline, and death—topics we so often avoid.

    “Your Room at the End will help you sidestep the many landmines, offering direct advice armed with practical knowledge.”—Julie Hall, author of The Boomer Burden

    “Charlie Hudson is amazing! She opened her heart to someone who was dying and embraced the unique nature of the journey we all face. The book is not only about Charlie’s journey but more importantly, it is about the problems she observed and the solutions that she sought. Join Charlie as she shares her insights and her hope that you will find something in her experiences to share with your own family and ‘special family’ of friends.”—June B. Craig, PhD, nutrition and marketing consultant

    “We should all say thank you to Charlie Hudson! She has taken a very difficult topic and beautifully turned it into a guide to use as we and our loved ones age. Her book really touched my heart.”—Robin Benoit, author of Jillian’s Story: How Vision Therapy Changed My Daughter’s Life

      It did me a power of good to read ‘Time to let go?’ (December edition). You see, I felt happy most of the time… but then I would let my mind wander and think of all the things that troubled me: people I have wronged and those that have wronged me. I
