In Spirit Matters: How to Remain Fully Alive with a Life-Limiting Illness, Judy Flickinger offers a seldom considered but all important perspective on what really matters at the end of life. As a retired hospice nurse turned author, Judy focuses on the importance of keeping the spirit, the person inside the ill body, alive and well during the course of a life-limiting illness. Spirit Matters exposes the motives, misconceptions, and lack of knowledge that often prevent dying people from receiving the type of care that can create and maintain a healthy spirit. The message in Spirit Matters is conveyed in eleven lessons illuminated by the personal stories of dying people and their families. Readers will learn, laugh, cry and hopefully realize when living with a terminal illness first and foremost, Spirit Matters.

Judy Flickinger was a hospice nurse for the last twelve years of her career as a registered nurse. Judy retired in 2001 to write Spirit Matters, not only to pass on what she had learned but to fulfill her promise to her hospice patients that their stories would be told so that others would benefit from what they had learned. For several years Judy was a guess lecturer at various colleges and nursing schools. She developed and taught certified continuing education programs for nurses and social workers. She has written and published end of life articles in several newspapers and has been interviewed on television and the radio. Judy is the former president of the North Coast Hospice Nurses Association and has served on Ohio Hospice Association Education Committee. Judy was awarded central Florida's Woman of Hope award in 2011 for her book and her work in hospice. Judy continues to volunteer for hospice by giving lectures on end of life care.
