*AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*
What can life’s final moments teach us about living well today?
In this bestselling memoir, palliative care nurse Hadley Vlahos recounts the unforgettable tales of the hospice patients whose journeys of self-discovery inspired her sense of purpose and hope. From the elderly man seeing visions of his late daughter, to the young patient lamenting the time wasted fearing judgment, to the woman whose unwavering belief in her faith was shaken up by the prospect of dying.
Each story teaches us to embrace life’s fleeting nature, and raises vital questions: How do we make peace with the end? How can we honour our late loved ones? And, above all, how can we make each day count?
Compassionate and thought-provoking, The In-Between is a celebration of life’s great unknowns, and a comfort as we navigate what comes next.

The purpose
I often struggle finding purpose in my life. As a 22 year old often surrounded by grief and heartache in my life your book showed me how I want to be perceived in life. I want to help people and learn from people. I listened to your book while working and found myself laughing and crying and understanding that your experiences are the essence of life itself. I strive to have the deep connections with the in between like you do. You are doing what you are meant to do. Thank you for showing me a different perspective on the purpose of life
