Testimonials for
“Beautiful Like Summer Flowers, Beautiful Like Autumn Leaves”

     I was present in Atlanta for the program you did. I just want to thank you for an extremely beautiful, moving, and affirming presentation. It was truly a gift to all of us. I am a hospice social worker who teeters on the brink of burnout at times. I want you to know that your gift renewed my energy and sense of purpose.

     The highlight of the NHPCO conference that stands out above all others was Jim Miller’s presentation on Wednesday evening. It was an example of Jim’s excellent nature photography, but in addition this time he had photos of hospice patients and caregivers. Jim used an especially compelling technique of showing caregivers’ faces in which he focused on each individual’s eyes and then their faces appear around their eyes. Speaking of eyes, I don’t think there was a dry eye in the entire auditorium by the time his presentation had concluded. Some folks commented that they were glad nothing had been scheduled after his presentation because they were too emotionally impacted to have been able to take in anything else.

As the presentation ended, I turned to my wife and said, “This is my advanced directive: play a video of this at the end of my journey, to remind me of the beauty of our world, and of our work in hospice.”

This program is truly a gift to all caregivers. The photographs are beautiful beyond words. The words spoken are tender. And the music brings to remembrance past relationships. What a blessing!
