There is more to death than simply ceasing to live. In Glimpses of Heaven, retired hospice nurse Trudy Harris offered an intimate look at the final days and moments of terminally ill and dying people. Now she shares more of her stories and also stories from other medical and hospice professionals, allowing the veil to be drawn back on God’s handiwork, while we are both living and dying. If you have lost a loved one, are facing a terminal illness, or are simply curious about what happens when we pass from life to death, More Glimpses of Heaven offers you an even deeper insight into God’s plan for our lives every day.
Trudy Harris, RN, was a Hospice nurse for more than 22 years and former president of the Hospice Foundation for Caring. During those years she was responsible for all public relations, marketing, fund raising and development, raising more than 45 million dollars for her local Hospice program.
Trudy’s first book, ” Glimpses of Heaven ” has sold over 300,000 copies and is currently published in 9 languages. She remains active in connecting the needs of terminally ill and dying patients in her community with the Hospice program she knows can best meet their needs. Her latest book, ” More Glimpses of Heaven ” was published in November 2010 and is already enjoying a wide readership.
She and her husband live in Jacksonville, Florida and enjoy the love and friendship of their 4 sons and 7 grandchildren
