My friend wrote a book while on hospice with stage 4 breast cancer. The sharing of her journey was so insightful, and though I didn’t know it at the time, prepared me in many ways for what I was about to go through. It is called “The Hardest Peace” by Kara Tippetts. Another book I’ve read recently that has had a profound effect on how I view my illness and especially the element of my mortality is “The Art of Dying Well” by Katy Butler. I honestly think everyone should read this book at some point. It really sheds light on some important things we need to decide what we believe about.
