The Next Room with Jane Asher

From the podcast: "When author Kathleen Vallee Stein sent Jane her book “Loving Choices, Peaceful Passing” she couldn’t wait to dig in. The story is raw, authentic, sad, beautiful and uplifting all at once. This is Kathleen’s story about how her family chose hospice at home for her father’s final 29 days of life and all of the struggles leading up to this decision.  It’s a book with an enormous amount of truth and grace. Kathleen tells Jane one of the best pieces of advice that she can offer to you if you have a loved one who is suffering and near death. “If you’re afraid to take them home, do it anyway.” It’s all about loving choices and a peaceful passing this week on The Next Room."
