Always Human Hospice Consulting

Books

Written to be handed to someone.

Every one of these came out of a room. A family that did not know what to ask, a caregiver keeping track of everything in her head, a daughter who needed somewhere to put it down. They are working tools, not memoirs.

The conversation books

The two this practice is named after.

Sacred Conversations by Nikki Patton

Sacred Conversations

A hospice and end-of-life planning journal

The book this whole practice is named after. A journal for the conversation most families put off until it is being had in a hallway at two in the morning — written to be handed to someone, not read at them.

For families, and for the professionals who sit with them. Agencies use it as a leave-behind.

For agencies

Buying these for your team.

Several agencies keep Sacred Conversations in the car and leave it with the family at the first visit. If that is what you are thinking about, order it the normal way — I do not run a bulk programme and I am not going to invent one to make this page longer.

What I will do is help your team use it: what to say when they hand it over, when in the visit it belongs, and what to do with what comes back. That is training, and it lives on the Sales & Training page.

Speaking, press, or a book question?

Media requests, speaking dates, and anything to do with the writing all come to the same place. Thirty minutes, no deck.

You are not in this alone. I see you. I am in this with ya.
