General Description:

Full of hope, this book speaks of the gift of relationship between family members and the importance of reconciliation. It blends practical psychological insights with an emphasis on the importance and power of prayer.

"Midwife for Souls is a book on hospice care, but it is much more than that. It is a 'how to' for family members, friends and hospice professionals involved in caring for terminally ill patients as they enter into the phase of their last moments, when life slowly ebbs away and death releases the soul to go home to God.... Kathy Kalina makes no apologies for being '100% Roman Catholic,' but her deep understanding of what human beings go through as their lives come to an end makes the book useful to everyone, regardless of religious preference."
- Josefina B. Magno, M.D., President, International Hospice Institute

"This excellent book helps us to better understand the common patterns and interconnections of human life and death. This understanding can only serve to make us all more tender and compassionate emissaries of love to one another. Midwife for Souls deals not only with living people preparing to die, but with dying people preparing to live."
- Fr. Michael Mannion, Author and Lecturer

"I wish I had read this before my Dad's death.... Midwife for Souls is a book full of hope, emphasizing the integrity, love and spiritual care of the dying person. It speaks of the gift of relationship between family members and the importance of reconciliation. It blends practical psychological insights with an emphasis on the importance and power of prayer."
- Sandra Guancial, BSSW, Londonderry, NH
