Person
Sue Collins has been a nurse for 40 years and a hospice nurse for 30 years. She has the extensive experience of the professional caregiver and has seen virtually everything at the end of life. This book arises out of the OMG!-I-can't-believe-they-said-that/did-that moments she's dealt with as well as the anger, frustration, grace and poignancy she has witnessed during the last days of patients for whom she has cared. Her father owned a hardware store in which she worked until she went to nursing school, and after her marriage she and her husband also owned a camera and photography business. She grew up boating, has two grown children and two grandchildren, and is an active competitive rower.
