Hope For A Cool Pillow by Margaret Overton 362.175

  

It is the autumn of the year and for some of us, or maybe for someone we love, it is the autumn of our lives.  Dr. Overton wrote this book because she is an advocate of planning for end-of-life care.  This may sound like a dry subject but she has written a great book.  She writes about it from different points of views - financial, emotional and physical.  Interspersed is the story of her life and how she dealt with the deaths of her parents.  Her father died of cancer.  Several years later her mother is suffering from dementia when she finally dies.  Two ways of dying and each has its own challenges.

It won't take you long to read this book but I think what you read will stay with you and maybe start a dialogue that everyone needs to have.
