Audio Books →Dying Well Our Journey of Love and Loss [Audiobook]

This uplifting end-of-life story offers a thought-provoking perspective on dying, one that may help you and those you love achieve what's most important at the end of your lives.
"Susan Ducharme Hoben and her husband have given us the gift of intimate understanding, so readers can walk away from her book with an increased sense of compassion and empathy, with the tools necessary to ensure you can support your loved ones and yourself through complicated end-of-life decisions." (Philly Life and Culture)
"It's a must-read for anyone and everyone who has a family member with a terminal illness or is undergoing one, themselves. It gives you a perspective of how until death arrives, every moment of life is to be celebrated and made use of, with friendships fostered and relationships made even richer." (Reviewing Shelf)
"Susan did an excellent job in sharing end-of-life information in a non-threatening way. I feel like she took the 'scary' out of death planning. In the end, it is truly the person's life that should be celebrated. This book has the power to help anyone who is facing death and those they love realize what is most important at the end of life." (New Age Journal)
"Dying Well is not about illness, but about embracing reality at the end of life and making the necessary decisions that honor a life well lived. Sue Hoben takes us along with her and her husband, Bruce, on this last journey together as a couple after he has a terminal diagnosis. They approach this transition the same way they approached all of life's challenges - with heart and humor shaped by their deep love and respect." (Judy L. Mandel, New York Times best-selling author of Replacement Child: A Memoir)
"Dying Well's account is a mix of love, sorrow, and practicality that is at the heart of what we, as a society, need to do to more normalize a process that modern medicine has tried so hard to shield us from." (Adam R. Silverman MD, FACP, Vice President, Population Health, Saint Francis Health Care Partners; Co-Chair, Care Decisions Connecticut)
"This is a love story, but it is also an account of successful navigation of a complex medical system. Our society pushes death under the rug. The courage of Sue and Bruce Hoben includes a refusal to do so." (Henry Schneiderman MD, MACP; Section Chief, Geriatrics & Palliative Care, Saint Francis Hospital & Medical Center/Trinity Health of New England)
