“A very helpful and beautifully written book for patients and caregivers who are going through the dying process. You can feel the deep caring and soothing guidance in every word of the book. The author's years of experience as a hospice nurse come through as she gives practical and comforting information about every aspect that comes up in going through dying. The chapters are well-laid out, easy to read, and you can pick and choose what you want to focus on. This book is not only good for patients and their caregivers, but also for students and clinicians in healthcare. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand what to do when you are either going through this yourself or wanting to help someone who is dying."

“Some Light at the End, is one of the few genuinely compassionate guides for families making decisions at the end-of-life, including decisions about palliative and hospice care. Cavenaugh’s book exudes unconditional love along the uncertain twists and turns of a road rarely taken. She gently informs and supports family caregivers and care recipients in every decision—directing her comments to each.”

“I liked this book. It is written by an experienced professional for the ordinary person. I thought the information and explanations she gave were just right, and it is the first such book that I have seen that I would be happy to recommend to an enquiring patient or caregiver.”
