Kate Scuffle welcomes Linda Mancinelli, author of the newly-released book Before You Go: A Hospice Nurse Shares Her Experiences Caring for Her Dying Patients, published by Lehigh Valley-based Blue Heron Book Works.
Together they talk about what hospice and palliative care is, Linda’s journey as a hospice nurse and how it inspired the book, bereavement and family care, as well stories of patients and Linda’s poems paying tribute to them.
