This book is a must read for all people who desire to have some control of their lives and those of their loved ones all the way through to the end of life. People are often lost in a medical maze when serious illness enters their lives. Pat sheds light on the dark pathways of that maze by sharing her knowledge gained through education and years of experience working as a nurse practitioner caring for seriously and terminally ill people. She shares tools available to help a person state clearly what is important to them and instruct their medical providers to make decisions based upon these goals. She writes from a place of hope and belief that all of life can be meaningful and lived ’Your way!’
