Reviews

[Victoria Timony turner]

Ah so conflicted! Cicely Saunders was a wonderful human, but this book was unexpectedly completely religious. Every other paragraph seemed to be about God and Jesus, yet there is no indication this would be the case. Disappointed, as was looking for her wisdom.

An excellent anthology. Helpful thoughts about loss, suffering and death.
