The Photography
Maggie Sale is a brilliant photographer and wonderful friend. Her nature photography in Facing Death: A Companion in Words and Images are their own inspiration and many 
users will be drawn back, again and again by their astonishing quality and variety. It has been a privilege to colaborate with her on this Book.
The images are such an important part of what this book has to offer. Very often, those in their final weeks and months of life are limited in their access to natural surroundings, due to treatment needs. This book revives that connection and provides a reliable source of beauty in a context that may become increasingly isolating and even bland.
Ocean tides, prairie grasses, sunrises, sunsets, mountains, tropical beaches, fall leaves, spring blossoms, snow-covered woodlands: it is hoped that these images will evoke memories, affirm the continuity of life and bring pleasure as often as they are viewed.
