Synopsis: Along the Road-Tales from the Journey is a practical
WORKBOOK for patients and families going through some very serious
and difficult issues. It is here to enable focus and meaning in a
time that is fraught with confusion and pain. It is also for people
who are not involved in hospice-people that recognize the value of
keeping track of the journey for others to have "in case" they
should suddenly be removed from the trail of life. It is for those
who recognize the personal value in journaling their days for
self-reflection and perspective. It is for those who know they are
dying, and for those whose dying is "a long ways off."This workbook
is a series of prompts that will help you notice the trail markers
in your life and journey. It is a guidebook that you will write to
show others the path you have taken. It is a place to reveal who
you are so others may learn. So, go at it with a poetic relish for
words and the telling.Endorsement: "I had every intention of
documenting the lives of my father and mother somehow, before they
left this life. But time slipped by, and now I have so little to
remember them by . . . and, so much of their histories are unknown
to me. This workbook is brilliant, and it's easy and fun. Get to
work on it with your loved one now. You'll be so happy that you
did."-Karen Taylor-GoodGrammy-nominated songwriter, speaker,
author, and Hospice "groupie" "You are one of a kind, there will
never be another, quite you like you. But just think about all you
have seen and done Think of all of the people you know and have
known. Will you please tell us what the world has looked like from
behind your eyes? How has life seemed, sounded, and felt like to
you all these years?Please tell us some stories, so that we can
share them with people you love and love you. Let them share your
memories, wisdom, and wit, and perhaps, pass them along to others,
even years from now, so that they, too, can know you. Have a seat,
sip a beverage, flip through this book in your hand and take us
Along the Road. With the help of someone to listen, write, or
record what you have to say, it's time to begin . . ."-Ira Byock,
MDauthor of Dying Well and The Four Things That Matter MostAuthor
