“Redflower – Tuscon, Arizona”

I was a hospice volunteer for 6 ½ years before becoming ill myself.  A friend introduced me to your CD, Songs For The Inner Child, and I carried it everywhere for patients and myself.  Dying is still often a taboo subject in our culture, the elephant in the middle of the living room.

One lady stands out in my mind.  She was being treated by hospice in a skilled nursing facility.  She had experienced a number of days of upset and agitation.  We were considering moving her to the hospice inpatient unit.  I sat quietly beside her and played and sang songs from your CD – It’s A Joy To Get To Know You, Peace Be With You, and more.  This wonderful lady not only calmed and spent the next two days on the unit but peacefully passed.

My Dad is now in hospice, in a skilled nursing home.  I play the CD for us, close my eyes, and see my Dad healthy and whole, peaceful.

Thank you in peace, may your kindnesses lead to the kindness of others,

Redflower
Tucson, AZ
