NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Passionate advocate for end-of-life care and TikTok star Hadley Vlahos shares moving stories of joy wisdom and redemption from her patients’ final moments in this “brilliant” (Zibby Owens Good Morning America) memoir.

 

“This extraordinary book helps dispel fear around death and dying—revealing it to be a natural part of our soul’s evolution.”—Laura Lynne Jackson New York Times bestselling author of Signs and The Light Between Us


Talking about death and dying is considered taboo in polite company and even in the medical field. Our ideas about dying are confusing at best: Will our memories flash before our eyes? Regrets consume our thoughts? Does a bright light appear at the end of a tunnel? For most people it will be a slower process one eased with preparedness good humor and a bit of faith. At the forefront of changing attitudes around palliative care is hospice nurse Hadley Vlahos who shows that end-of-life care can teach us just as much about how to live as it does about how we die.

 

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 was shunned by her community and enrolled herself in nursing school to be able 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. 

 

In The In-Between Vlahos recounts the most impactful experiences she’s had with the people she’s worked with—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—while also sharing her own fascinating journey.

 

Written with profound insight humility and respect The In-Between is a heartrending memoir that shows how caring for others can transform a life while also offering wisdom and comfort for those dealing with loss and providing inspiration for how to live now.
