The Art of Listening in a Healing Way: The Video

You may use this video in its entirety, section by section, or principle by principle. Photography of flowers in nature helps illustrate all the ideas. The video shares much with the book of the same title, yet has its differences too—one complements the other. View Windows Media sample or QuickTime sample.

You Are The Difference
An Appreciation of End-of-Life Caregivers

     Our newest audio CD begins with "You Make Such a Difference" in which Jim Miller voices his affirmation of the everyday work of hospice and palliative care professionals in his gentle, heartfelt manner. The second part, "The Light of Day," is the song he wrote, sung as if a dying person were speaking to their hospice caregiver, expressing gratitude. Gary Malkin did the music and the vocal recording. Then "Thank You, Thank You" is Jim's appreciation, spoken on behalf of all, for the many things such caregivers do day in and day out.
