All are welcome to join executive director Lisa Vigil Schattinger and other supporters in reading and discussing Present Through the End by Kirsten DeLeo.
“Kirsten DeLeo has distilled timeless wisdom into a clear, accessible, and thoroughly helpful book. Rather than explain what to say or do, DeLeo shows us how to be with people who are approaching life’s end. Her guidance is simple, practical, and profound: Show up. Arrive with love—for yourself and the person you are visiting. Lean forward. Listen. Remember to breathe.” —Ira Byock, MD, author of Dying Well and The Best Care Possible
