ABOUT THE BOOK: Dying Well: Our Journey of Love and Loss is Susan Hoben’s inspiring memoir. Detailing how her late husband Bruce celebrated life while facing his death with grace and dignity, Hoben guides readers through the decisions made and actions taken on their nine-month journey from cancer diagnosis. Dying Well brings readers into their celebrations and goodbyes, to a peaceful death free of fear and regret. Hoben shares the lessons she learned as their family came to terms with Bruce’s impending death, and the ways they made this last stage of his life as loving and joyous as possible.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Susan Hoben is the award-winning author of Dying Well: Our Journey of Love and Loss and a renowned advocate for choosing the path of a peaceful end-of-life. Her insights challenge and inspire others to fundamentally shift their perspective on death. She is a media expert who has appeared on national media outlets, including NBC, ABC, and Sirius XM/Doctor Radio.

As someone who has lived the end-of-life experience she is advocating, Susan brings an important and missing perspective to the growing national dialogue about dying. When her husband Bruce decided to stop cancer treatment, he and his family embraced his end-of-life and assumed responsibility for achieving a celebratory, peaceful, and intimate conclusion. She and Bruce spent the last months of his life doing all the things he loved, spending time with the people he cared for the most and savoring every moment. She felt she grieved with him, and then celebrated with him. After he passed, she was at peace.
