LESSONS FROM THE BEDSIDE

10 TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE LOVE AND LETTING GO WHAT A LIFETIME OF CARING TAUGHT ME

For over four decades as a nurse, I have witnessed the most extraordinary human encounters imaginable. The lessons learned from illness, tragedy, miraculous recovery, laughter, love, and letting go, needed to be told. In this book I share ten of the most enduring and emotionally stirring ones from a lifetime of caring.

Lessons Include:
- The body is resilient, but the spirit is even stronger—Why am I still here?
- Kindness unexpected is powerful medicine---Gestures that burn with lifelong impact.
- Laughter heals in ways the scientific method can’t explain—Humor-as-tonic, especially in hard times.
- The Best-Worst experience of Letting go—Finding peace in loss.
- Love, above all else, is what truly matters—In the final moments who will be holding your hand?
- Bonus, what a 90-Year-Old Marathoner taught me about "possibility aging."
These stories will make you smile and make you cry; share them with someone.
