SUNSET VOICES: Snapshots at the End of Life
SUNSET VOICES is the fictional account of thirty-three men and women nearing the end of their lives. Yet these snapshots are not just about death and dying, but of living life in the sunset years with all that entails.
As a hospice volunteer and a member of a Hospice singing group, Rev. D'Vorah experienced first hand the beauty and the power of people at the end of life. As an ordained Interfaith Minister who officiates at memorial services, and a woman in the last third of her life, she believes that we can learn to more fully appreciate our lives by embracing our mortality, and offers these "snapshots" as a way to do so.
SUNSET VOICES is a valuable resource for ministers, hospice workers, caregivers, psychologists, gerontologists, family members with elderly relatives, and others who work with, live with, and are themselves living in the sunset years.

Beautifully written, Sunset Voices brings you into the lives of people as they near the end of their time on earth. The book made me more aware of the beauty, power, compassion and redemption available to us at the end of our lives and made me contemplate my own life as I age. It is a quick read that has the power to touch you and perhaps even change the way you interact with a dying friend or family member nearing the end of his or her life, or to make different decisions about your own life.
A truly inspired work and a must read! These 33 fictional accounts provide an honest glimpse into the end of life. I was overwhelmed with emotions while reading this book. I am amazed that a couple pages of prose can provide the framework to challenge ourselves to redefine how we think of the elderly. D'Vorah helps to liberate the marginalized by sharing their experiences and thoughts as they move toward the infinite. This is an absolute must read if you work in hospice or are concerned with spirituality, humanity, or personal growth.
The word pictures in this book present a thoughtful look at life as it is slowing down. People as they age are often hidden. These reflections give glimpses of lives that have many facets.
