Reviews
"Quietly powerful ... Wendy MacNaughton's gentle drawings are followed by a deep well of resources for the dying and those who love and care for them." -- Bookpage, starred review "A tender illustrated field guide to being present ... The book's beating heart is an invitation to grow comfortable with change, with uncertainty, with vulnerability." -- Maria Popova, The Marginalian "Words are spare, poignant, and practical: 'If you don't know what to say, start by saying that. That's very vulnerable.' An introduction from a hospice physician and a list of resources round this out as a perfect library book: one that everyone could use, one time or another." -- Booklist "There are many kinds of grace in this little book . . . [there is an] underlying kindness that runs throughout." -- Rebecca Solnit, author of HOPE IN THE DARK " Stunningly touching. " -- Steven Levitt, Freakonomics Radio "Accessible, profound, moving, and beautiful. A unique and much-needed addition to the literature about death and dying." -- Louise Aronson, MD, author of ELDERHOOD "Like singing bowls whose sounds reverberate through us, MacNaughton's drawings resonate emotional tones of the tender moments she deftly portrays . " -- Ira Byock, MD, author of DYING WELL "With keen eyes, a skillful hand, and a warm heart, MacNaughton has created a teaching manual on how to say goodbye . . . a gift to all of us as we face death in its many forms." -- Mary Pipher, author of WOMEN ROWING NORTH "This beautiful little book is luminous and dark, heavy and light, heartbreaking and glorious. It's a gift to see the world through Wendy MacNaughton's eyes." -- Lucy Kalanithi, MD, Clinical Associate Professor, Stanford University School of Medicine "A modern legend in the field of American illustration...[her] illustrations skitter across the page with delicate intensity, like fresh fuzzy roots meeting soil." -- Saveur "We've been enamored of artist-graphic journalist Wendy MacNaughton's breezy-yet-hyper-perceptive sketches, humanizing portraits, and urban tableaus for years now... the SF resident [is] something like our illustrator laureate." -- San Francisco Bay Guardian "[MacNaughton is] like a modern-day Margaret Mead armed with ink and watercolor, not a critic or commentator but an observer and amplifier of voice." -- BrainPickings, "Words are spare, poignant, and practical: 'If you don't know what to say, start by saying that.

Synopsis
A USA TODAY Bestseller An NPR "Book We Love" A finalist for the California Book Award "A poem to mortality and the beauty of how we can cope with it." -Atul Gawande, author of Being Mortal New York Times -bestselling artist Wendy MacNaughton shares wisdom from hospice caregivers: how to be, when to help, what to say-with full-color drawings throughout. As artist-in-residence at the Zen Hospice Project Guest House in San Francisco, Wendy MacNaughton witnessed firsthand how difficult it is to know what to do when we're sharing final moments with a loved one. In this tenderly illustrated guide to saying goodbye, MacNaughton shows how to make sure those moments are meaningful. Using a framework of "the five things" taught to her by a professional caregiver, How to Say Goodbye provides a model for having conversations of love, respect, and closure: with the words "I forgive you," "Please forgive me," "Thank you," "I love you," and "Goodbye," each oriented toward finding mutual peace and understanding when it matters most. With a foreword by renowned physician and author BJ Miller, and practical resources, How to Say Goodbye features MacNaughton's drawn-from-life artwork from both the Zen Hospice Project Guest House and her own aunt's bedside as she died, paired with gentle advice from hospice caregivers on creating a positive sensory experience, acknowledging what you can't control, and sharing memories and gratitude. A poignant guide to embracing the present and deepening relationships during great vulnerability, How to Say Goodbye shows that just as there is no one right way to live a good life, there is no one right way to say goodbye. Whether we're confused, scared, or uncertain, this book is a starting point., A USA TODAY Bestseller An NPR "Book We Love" New York Times -bestselling artist Wendy MacNaughton shares wisdom from hospice caregivers: how to be, when to help, what to say--with full-color drawings throughout.
