Attributes of Final Gifts By Maggie Callanan PDF

Five years after its first publication, with more than 150,000 copies in print, Final Gifts has become a classic. In this moving and compassionate book, 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.Final Gifts By Maggie Callanan PDF

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.

Such a helpful book!
July 13, 2017

My mother was nearing the end of a nearly 7-year battle with advanced breast cancer, when I found this wonderful book. Thank God I’m a fast reader, as her condition deteriorated rapidly, and she became bedridden and practically non-communicative within two days of the book’s arrival. Although her body seemed ready for death, something seemed to be holding her back, causing her to become agitated. Using the clues in the book, I realized that she was waiting for my father to say good bye and to tell her he’d be okay. Once I convinced him to do this, she passed peacefully about six hours later, surrounded by those she loved.

I purchased this book in 2013 when my husband was dying from brain cancer. But it wasn’t until this morning, after lending the book to a co-worker whose father is near death, that I decided to come here and submit this. This book helped me immensely while dealing with my husband in the final stages of his life. It made me stop and listen and look for clues as to how to help him. This book gave me the ability to calm and sooth my husband when he was struggling with his inability to understand what was happening to him. Through the myriad of stories in this collection, I found the help I badly needed and the words that my husband needed to hear me say. So when my co-worker left my desk just now with tears of thanks in her eyes, I figured it was high time I wrote this review. I can’t recommend this book enough.

I was given a copy of this book to read by the social worker at the hospice when my brother was dying. Words cannot express my gratitude to the author (and the social worker!) for sharing this wonderful book. It provided stories relevant to the communication of the dying patient. It comforts as well as informs. The biggest takeaway I got was that a dying person has a “to-do list” before they are ready to go. Examples of those who prefer to pass with family around, and those who prefer to pass on their own. I learned so much. I now own a spare copy for family/friends in the event they face this situation.

My mother has a gliablastoma. This book not only taught me a lot, but gave me some peace of mind. I feel better prepared and now almost feel a calmness about how the end will be. It was very difficult to read in that the stories were of the dying. I cried through almost every story, but it was important and it was healing in an odd way. I am the better for having read it. I can’t thank the writer’s enough for writing it.

Recommended to me by a dear friend, Final Gifts was a book that helped her to understand what her father was going through during the final stages of his long battle with cancer. She said she found it to be comforting and helpful, and encouraged me to read it, even if it was in small snippets versus reading it thoroughly cover to cover.

I ordered the book and the first pages I opened up to related to how someone who is dying might really know in their soul ‘when’ that is going to occur (Nearing Death Awareness) and in small ways prepare their loved ones. Individual’s stories are brief, but well written and thought provoking. I found myself thinking back to what I’d read over and over again during the next few days.

My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer over a year ago, and subsequently the doctors found she had a separate cancerous tumor (non-metastatic) on her pancreas. She has two aortic anyuersms and doctors really aren’t sure why she is still with us, but continue to give her palliative care in the form of chemotherapy and pain meds to extend her life. At the same time, we try to prepare for her departure.

As a caregiver this book is helping me to understand a bit more about what my mother is going through and remind me to be present in all my interactions with her, as even the mundane ones my be Final Gifts. I’m grateful my friend recommended this book to me and I would recommend it to others who are helping a friend or family member who is dying.
