Tani Bahti, RN, CT, CHPN In my 40 years as nurse and educator, my patients and families have been my best teachers. I combine their experiences and insights with the science and wisdom of our body to provide simple explanations about the dying process and end of life challenges. I believe that dying is a natural part of the life cycle and should be talked about and prepared for with the same respectful attention, knowledge and caring as other significant rites of passage My passion is to overcome fear and misinformation with compassionate guidance, and education, using gentle and respectful approaches. Only then can we become trusted guides at such an important time.
