I read this book because I am a pediatric hematology/oncology nurse and I am interested in the thoughts and processes of my patient’s family members. What do they see?  How do they think of me and other staff at the hospital?  I struggle with death and what to say after losing a patient or a loved one, I’m the queen of saying the wrong thing.  I guess I was hoping maybe this book would be one I could recommend to families after a devastating loss. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. I guess it would depend on their feelings in that moment.
