I Am Standing Upon the Seashore: End of Life Education, A Coloring Booklet

Love all her books. She has helped me in so many ways.

It helps to understand

My family and I found these books at the hospice center where my dad was passing away and they really helped all of us through those difficult times so we could understand what was happening and what was going to happen. So later I had met a girl that her mom was passing away and so I bought some of these books and gave them to her and told them how they helped me and my family and I had hoped and prayed that they would help her with her’s and later she came and told me that they did and so it has become something that I give to people when they are in the same situation with one of their family members passing away and it does seem to help them as well. What’s so wonderful about these books is when you’re faced with the situation like this with someone you care about you don’t know what to give them or what to say and they don’t know either and that is what makes this book so wonderful because they can say the right things and make people understand. So I think you from the bottom of my heart that you created these books for everyone to understand.

A helpful way to say goodbye

I've given these away as a hospice nurse. When little kids are losing someone close, this helps them feel included, and offers an opportunity for them to ask questions about what is happening. Patients often ask for a copy to give to a kiddo, giving the opening for a conversation about the impending death. It isn't easy to figure out how to open this conversation with kids. Using this book, I have had an easy time facilitating the start of that conversation. Kids usually DO have questions, and given this opportunity, will benefit from the opportunity to ask away.
