Lehigh Valley author Linda J. Mancinelli’s new book “Before You Go,” dedicated to a subject that none of us can avoid as living beings on this planet – death and dying – is set to be released on May 20.
Published by Blue Heron Bookworks LLC, “Before You Go” is not a “how-to” guide, but simply, stories shared, real-life situations, grief perspectives and coping mechanisms detailed to help dying individuals and those who love them from the perspective of a seasoned hospice registered nurse. Debunking some of the hospice myths, as well as guiding the reader through at times, the daunting hospice journey, the author lays out valuable ideas with practical, no-nonsense knowledge.
Mancinelli actually chose to become a hospice nurse to help give her calming, understanding, compassionate and skillful expertise to the person who is passing, as well as the family and friends navigating a difficult transition.
“Many people would not choose to be a hospice nurse, but I felt as if it were a profession where I could give my whole heart to helping those through the final transition with dignity and grace as well as helping their loved ones cope with each different situation,” Mancinelli said.
