Love's Last Measure: Lessons Found at Death's Door

If we live in fear, we will probably die in fear. The Artist and the Chef, Mike and Anne Mikkelsen from "Take Charge of Parkinson's Disease" conclude their 30-year journey with Parkinson's. Having recognized a new and powerful tenderness, Mike prepares for his ultimate adventure with the same creativity he demonstrated all his life. To Anne's surprise Mike knows exactly what he's doing. He generously shares his obsessions, his hallucinations, his earthly desires and mostly his gratitude. She enters his world of dying to discover that the most profound lessons in life can be found at death's door. Taking charge of anything requires immersing yourself in that thing. The rewards of knowing the path of dying and death are abundantly clear in "Love's Last Measure", a story nourished by humor and tears, love and light. With Anne as his witness, Mike takes charge again and masters the fine art of dying.

Anne Cutter Mikkelsen has been a hospice volunteer and is an advocate for all people with Parkinson's. Her latest book, "Love's Last Measure: Lessons Found at Death's Door", employs all the tools of compassion and insight she and her husband Mike gathered during their 30-year journey with Parkinson's.
