*AN INSTANT NEW TORK TIMES BESTSELLER*'Extraordinary ... helps dispel fear about death and dying - revealing it to be a natural part of our soul's evolution' Laura Lynne Jackson 'Makes dying feel like a peaceful, dynamic and nourishing event' Christie Tate 'Compassionate, beautifully written ... contains profound wisdom' Katy Butler 'Gentle and moving' Theresa BrownA heart-warming memoir full of stories of joy, wisdom and redemption from a young hospice nurse who found her calling caring for patients at the end of their lives, The In-Between demystifies death, offering wisdom and comfort for those dealing with loss.We don't often talk about dying, even in the medical field, but death and bereavement are a universal part of life. An ardent advocate for compassionate end-of-life care, hospice nurse and TikTok star, Hadley Vlahos, shows us that the end of our lives can be rich, beautiful and transformative by sharing moving stories about how her patients' final days have changed her life.Vlahos was raised in a strict religious household but began questioning her beliefs in high school after the sudden death of a friend. When she got pregnant at nineteen, she temporarily set aside her childhood dreams of becoming a writer and enrolled herself in nursing school to support herself and her baby. But nursing soon became more than a job: when she focused on palliative care and hospice work, it became a calling.Full of insights from real people, from the woman who never once questioned her faith until she was close to death, to the older man seeing visions of his late daughter, to the young patient who laments that she spent too much of her short life worrying about what others thought of her - each story raises vital questions about living, dying and the afterlife, teaching us about how we die, while inspiring us to live our lives to the fullest.
