Critic Reviews

"Kirsten DeLeo has distilled timeless wisdom into a clear, accessible, and thoroughly helpful book. Rather than explain what to say or do, DeLeo shows us how to be with people who are approaching life’s end. Her guidance is simple, practical, and profound: Show up. Arrive with love - for yourself and the person you are visiting. Lean forward. Listen. Remember to breathe." (Ira Byock, MD, author of Dying Well and The Best Care Possible)

"Present Through the End is a practical and meaningful book that is sure to be of immense benefit to anyone caring for a friend, family member, or patient who is facing the end of their days." (Christine Longaker, author of Facing Death and Finding Hope)

"Kirsten DeLeo invites us to be daring and sit with our own discomfort as we hold space and accompany the dying. DeLeo shares her wisdom with warmth and respect. A must-have guidebook that is thoughtful, accessible, and offers practical tools for caring companions." (Cheryl A. Giles, co-editor of The Arts of Contemplative Care)
