A challenging true life journey
A delightfully honest story of a physician's internal struggle with the true purpose of his work in Paliative Care. From the treatment of patients using drugs to help with the physical pain of dying to the management of people and the assistance to die filled with peace and love, Dr Cole emerges as a angel of healing the soul prior to the physical death. This book took me to a very beautiful place where caring is love and death is peaceful.

Simply Superb!
No book has ever moved me spritually and brought a greater realizarion of how fragile live is and how little time we have left to love and do the right thing for not only our love ones but also frineds and strangers alike.

Soul Searching
The moment I layed my hands on the book, I simply could not put it down. Dr. Cole's book had most of the answers to many of my unanswered questions. It is more then a mission of love, it is a mission to help you rediscoveryour inner being and yourself.
