A sampling
of the praise we've received for "A Different Season: The
Hospice Journey," a booklet used by over 300 hospices and
over 40,000 hospice families as a helpful guide to family
caregivers:
"We find that
families really respond to it. They won't give them back!"
—A Social Worker at an Arkansas Hospice
"My hospice uses other materials, but I buy my own copies
of "A Different Season" for patients because it's so much
better." —A Social Worker at an Oklahoma hospice.
“We love it! It answers the questions every hospice family
has.” —A Texas Hospice
“Our recent Joint Commission
Survey RN was very impressed with your booklet!” –A North
Carolina Hospice
“You covered what the
families need to know in 32 pages. You nailed it.” –A
Mississippi Hospice Director
“I carry a stack in my car.
It’s the best.” –A North Carolina Hospice MD
“Clearly and gently written
by an experienced hospice nurse, this booklet explains
hospice services, helps family caregivers understand
comfort care, instructs and reassures caregivers, prepares
families for the changes to come, and describes the
end-of-life process. We highly recommend this booklet as an
invaluable resource for caregivers and family members as
well as for community outreach, volunteer training, support
groups, physicians’ offices, and nursing home education. It
has received tremendous praise as a helpful handout for
hospice families.” --Review by Compassion Books
(www.compassionbooks.com)
“The section on food and the
explanation of comfort care is worth the price of the whole
booklet.” —A North Carolina Hospice
'A nurse and I chip in out of our own pockets to buy these
booklets for the families in our very, very small hospice.
That's how good they are for families.' —A Social Worker at
an Alabama Hospice
“We started using them in caregiver folders, but they are
GREAT for community education. Please double our order.” —A
Michigan Hospice
“We love them!” —A New Mexico Hospice
“Covers the topics in the two booklets we used before, so
it’s more economical for us.” —An Illinois Hospice
“If I’d had this booklet back
when my Father was ill, it would have empowered our family
to choose hospice instead of hopeless chemo.” —Arkansas
reader
“So much easier to present to families than the booklet we
used to have...even the title is less scary, so they read
it. —An Arkansas Hospice
“Families like it better than the binder of handouts we’d
been using. I love the quotes from other hospice families.”
—A North Carolina Hospice
“We’ve really enjoyed using the booklet. It touches on
things the others don’t: food, family dynamics, pain
control...” —A Nebraska Hospice
“The booklet is lovely...helpful and thoughtful information
-- especially on the food issues which are often traumatic
for families.” --A Louisiana Hospice
