Description
Accessible meditations, reflections, and practical advice to help patients and their loved ones navigate the emotional landscape of serious illness.

Dealing with chronic illness can be an isolating and challenging experience. Whether it's you or someone you love, it's common to struggle with feelings of fear, sadness, or anger as you navigate the uncertainty of a diagnosis. This revised, expanded edition of Leaves Falling Gently empowers readers to embrace the present moment, find peace within themselves, and deepen interpersonal connections. With accessible meditations, reflective prompts, and mindfulness practices that resonate deeply with both patients and their loved ones, it offers a nurturing roadmap for navigating the complexities of health challenges.

The book's three parts--Mindfulness, Compassion, and Connectedness--each contain prompts for meditations, reflective writing, and daily practices that are rooted in Buddhism and can benefit everyone. Frequent reminders to "pause now" encourage us to be where we're at and move at a pace that is comfortable.

Backed by research and clinical studies, and interspersed with stories from the author's own experiences working in end-of-life care, this heartfelt guide is a welcome offering for all of us to treat ourselves and those around us gently in order to live more fully.
