    According to a recent AARP report, 34 million people offer care to a loved one. With more than 30 years spent as a caregiver, a motivator, and a coach, Jillian Brasch shares her reflections as an occupational therapist and a hospice worker in this harrowing and heartfelt collection. The Last Gifts tells the stories of 17 dying patients, whom Jillian Brasch cared for as an occupational therapist. Brasch shows that providing care to someone who is dying isn't depressing-it is awe-inspiring and fosters a profound sense of love. The Last Gifts shows caregivers how to acknowledge their fears and learn the tools to dispel them, while also providing caregivers with strength and courage. Today at 3PM.
