As we walk 'hand in hand' through the aging and ultimate death of a parent or loved one, the life-long process of learning about ourselves continues to unfold. Terry Lanigan chronicles the many loving lessons to be learned and the wealth of emotions to be experienced when supporting elderly parents through their final years, and ultimately, preparing for their death. Out of every crisis comes an opportunity. Ms. Lanigan shows her readers the opportunity to value the gifts that have been given by your loved one in life as well as in death. For more than twenty-five years, Ms. Lanigan has devoted her professional career to understanding the emotional themes that are universal to the human experience. The journey of dignity and respect that you share with the people that you love during their final years is one of these universal themes. Terry Lanigan currently maintains a private psychotherapy practice in Grand Haven, Michigan, providing an insight-oriented methodology to her work with individuals and families.
