LAST ACTS OF KINDNESS

In her award-winning book, Last Acts of Kindness, Judith Redwing Keyssar, writes about her experience in the field of palliative care providing emotional and spiritual guidance and support. She describes how she helped people in their dying processes.

From the preface: I have watchedpeople change drastically and open to life in new and unexpected ways, after being at the bedside of a loved one. The simplest and most profound lesson that I have learned ver and over again is that love is truly all that matters, and in the end, a force much greater than our small human lives connects us all.

 Ms. Keyssar is an author, Palliative Care Clinician, poet, and educator. She is an advocate for the understanding and acceptance of palliative care and care for the dying.

She leads three poetic medicine workshops each week. These workshops are all virtual and are being attended by people all over the world. No writing experience is required.

Here are the links to the three workshops:

Loss, Losing, and Loosening poetry for grief and loss. https://griefhealingpoetry.eventbrite.com

Wounded Healer https://woundedhealer.eventbrite.com 

I am honored to call Ms. Keyssar a friend. We first “met” through the Internet since we are both ovarian cancer survivors, authors, and public speakers. When she came to the Orlando area to receive an award, we had a wonderful in-person time together.

It is my great pleasure to feature her on this blog. Her website is https://redwingkeyssar.com/ She welcomes your comments or questions. She can also be reached at UCSF Meri Center for Education in Palliative Care at Mt. Zion. https://meri.ucsf.edu/content/contact-us or 415-509-8645

Just as a side note: I have closed my FB and Smashwords accounts.
