Christina Lufkin has been a Hospice Volunteer since 1994, focusing on patient and family support. Through her training and compassion she also helps people to understand that hospice is not a death sentence it is an opportunity to live life to the fullest until you die. Christina 's book was motivated by the many enriching experiences with her clients. A warmly written account of relationships with the dying. An inspirational and informational assessment important for anyone in Hospice care or anyone involved in personal care of the dying. Suzanne Cuff, CNA Live with Purpose: Die with Dignity is a book I simply could not put down. In each story the author shares a different experience of what it is like to be a hospice volunteer. The writing is descriptive and the words flow from the heart; I felt like I was sharing the experiences. I intend to use this book as a reference for our volunteer trainings. I would recommend this book to anyone who wonders what it is like to walk beside a person who faces a terminal illness.
