As someone who has lived the end-of-life experience she is advocating, she brings an important and missing perspective to the growing national dialog about dying. When her husband Bruce decided to stop treatment for his terminal illness, he and his family embraced his end-of-life and assumed responsibility for achieving a celebratory, peaceful, and intimate conclusion. She shows us what is possible and demonstrates the value not just to the person who is dying but to those left behind.
