Life's Way:
Reflections of Hospice Volunteers in Northwestern Ontario
We are thrilled to announce that the book Life's Way is now available for purchase. The book may be purchased at our office at 63 Carrie Street, at the Northern Women's Bookstore on Court Street South, or it can be ordered by calling 807-626-5573 or by ordering online at http://lifesway.ca/
Honest and inspiring, Life's Way is an insightful collection of personal stories chronicling the experiences of thirty palliative care volunteers in Northwestern Ontario communities. As hospice volunteers reflect on the profound experiences of being a companion to persons who are acutely grieving or facing a life-limiting illness, many speak of the lessons they have learned and offer practical wisdom for life and death.
A tender, courageous and sometimes heartbreaking collection of true stories, this book takes us on a journey of the heart and invites us to look within and embrace our potential for authentic human connection. The book is illustrated with personal photos of volunters and clients and the cover features a beautifully atmospheric scene of Lake Superior taken by local photographer Stephen Roberts.
This book would not have been possible without the financial assistance of The Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation, The Paterson Foundation, Tbaytel, and The Port Arthur Rotary Club. Hospice Northwest and the Hospice Advisory Committee extends a special thank you to these organizations for their generosity and commitment to supporting creative projects that strengthen the communities of Northwestern Ontario.
