From Sun to Sun: A Hospice Nurse Reflects on the Art of Dying.

Longtime hospice nurse Nina Angela McKissock goes from home to home and within the residential hospice to give care, and shares her experiences and lessons learned in reflections about dying.
“This work is so important, honest, unflinching and well written…really a gift for anyone who has or will experience the process of dying. (I guess that covers a lot of people!),” says Dr. Dan Gottlieb, PhD, author and host of NPR radio program “Voices in the Family.”

Nina Angela McKissock has been a registered nurse for thirty-nine years. She was featured on the Spirituality Channel’s three-part television series From Hospice to Heaven, has created hospital-based programs on Death and Dying and Bereavement, and was the Executive Director and Founder of Serenity House and Hospice Support in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Before that, she was a nurse in top-rated hospitals including The National Cancer Institute in Frederick, Maryland, and the Hahnemann University Hospital. She lives in Philadelphia and has three grown children.
