This book was a blessing as I received it right at the time my father was dying from cancer last year. I've already shared it with two friends and am so thankful for the words of wisdom and comfort offered in relation to living with someone who is dying.

I want to thank you for providing such good resources! I've appreciated several of your resources over the years but one that was a tremendous help to me in my recent journey was the book Sunsets.
I was planning for this school year (2007-2008) and came across the book Sunsets in your catalogue. After reading your comments on it I thought it was something I might find helpful.
You see in June of '06 my husband was diagnosed with adrenal cortical cancer and in November '06 we found it had moved to his lungs. At that point we knew he only had months not years. It is a rare yet very aggressive type of cancer. He started chemo and were thankful for the added time it was giving us. However around June/July of '07 the cancer stopped responding and it spread quickly. He tried other chemo but the chances weren't good they would help.
Around this time I saw the book in your catalogue, ordered it, and read it. Although parts of it were hard to read I found it was those parts that were what I needed to prepare me for what was to come. It is rare to find a book as helpful to me as that book was.
You see everything progressed much faster than we thought it would. We asked for Hospice one day (late August '07) they came on a Tuesday and by that Thursday evening he died. It was an answer to prayer that it went quickly but even hospice was unable to keep up with the rapid decline.
However, because of that book (and knowing my husband) I was able to understand what was happening, know what he needed, and communicate our needs much better than I would have if I didn't read that book. Being able to help my husband that way at the last meant so much to me!
The book also helped prepare me spiritually for the difficult journey of letting go, and the grieving that we continue to struggle with. It is so hard to find the kind of solid advice and comfort that the book Sunsets gave me and I just wanted to thank you for providing that kind of resource.
In Christ,
