In this moving and compassionate classic—now updated with new material from the authors—hospice nurses Maggie Callanan and Patricia Kelley share their intimate experiences with patients at the end of life, drawn from more than twenty years’ experience tending the terminally ill.
Through their stories we come to appreciate the near-miraculous ways in which the dying communicate their needs, reveal their feelings, and even choreograph their own final moments; we also discover the gifts—of wisdom, faith, and love—that the dying leave for the living to share.
Filled with practical advice on responding to the requests of the dying and helping them prepare emotionally and spiritually for death, Final Gifts shows how we can help the dying person live fully to the very end.

I was somewhat disappointed that it omitted several significant major trucks produced by the USA and USSR during the Cold War: US M35, M50, M109, M54, M939, MK48, M125; USSR GAZ 66, URAL 375, MAZ 500 Series, MAZ 540 Series, ZIL 133, KraZ 255, KraZ 260, KamaZ Series. Both brand and generic names are included, with correct capitalization. After came doctors, tests, and chemotherapy. A select few - Scammell Pioneer, Kubelwagen, GMC 'deuce-and-a-half, etc. B
