There are many excellent books that have been written about end of life, but there are few written by a doctor about his own death.  When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi, is an extraordinary description of the end of life journey of a gifted neurosurgeon.   We highly recommend this book to end of life caregivers to help understand the mental, emotional, and spiritual concerns that are faced by terminally ill patients.  Kalanithi writes very openly and honestly about his feelings and his struggles.   You can find more information about this book on Amazon, or at your local bookstores.  Visit our website at www.theheartofhospice.com for resources and information about hospice, caregiving, and self care.
