About this title

Synopsis

The End of Days: An Intimate Death traces the journey of a rural family as the father lies dying. This true account evokes compassion and empathy, dotted with amusement and a calm acceptance of life's inevitable end. In this poignant, moment-to-moment account of dying are sprinkled rich, touching and sometimes amusing memories, creating a truly intimate record of holding space as a loved one passes. Heartfelt--but raw--this collection is a delicate, honest tribute not just to the father, but the life of the entire family, creating a rural epic, true to the roots from which it sprang.

About the Author

Born and raised on the north-central plains near Eureka, South Dakota, Judy's early experiences growing up on a farm and working next to her parents connected her strongly to the earth and developed her understanding of nature's cycles, their inevitability and their beauty. Since retiring after thirty-eight years teaching public school, she has begun to share her unique perspective on life through poetry, prose, music, song, meditation and healing arts.
