New Hope International Review On-Line
 
"HASSETT DAHM believes that the best place for a patient to be treated is in their own home.  She shows how the process of dying can be eased and accorded dignity.  She gives information on pain relief, nursing and relevant support agencies, some if it is specific to the USA.
 
A catholic herself, she sees the process of dying as a journey into eternal life.  In a striking chapter she takes the reader on a pathworking back to the classical world to hear the Pagan philosophers, Socrates and Marcus Aurelius, discourse on death and immortality.  Her religious speculations are kept carefully non-denominational.  Without holding out unrealistic hope, she affirms her belief in miracles and the power of prayer.
 
The book is written in an easy, accessible style, with plenty of case histories and personal stories.  I would strongly recommend it to anyone suffering from advanced cancer or charged with the care of a cancer patient."
