People are now choosing hospice as a end of life experience.. to transition at home. Peaces Passages is a complication of hospice experiences by a hospice nurse.
Janet Wehr, RN, QTTP is a registered nurse of 22 years who has devoted the last 17 of those years to caring for hospice patients and their families. Presently, Janet works for Harbor Light Hospice, a nationwide organization which provides care to those who are terminally ill and those who are dying.

Janet is the author of Peaceful Passages: A Hospice Nurse’s Stories of Dying Well (Quest Books, 2015), which is her first book. Peaceful Passages is a joyful collection of stories about Janet’s experiences in witnessing the death of her patients during her years as a hospice nurse. Her first-hand account gives illuminating and comforting insight into the spiritual aspect of what occurs in the transition between life and death, highlighting the importance of the mind-body-spirit connection as it manifests in the dying process. It also gives a candid impression of hospices and hospice nurses and the services they can provide. All of Janet’s 46 personal stories are true, fascinating, heart-felt, and thought-provoking. Through her authentic examples, readers gain understanding, hope, and a sense of peace about what is, after all, an inevitable experience for us all. And with that sense of peace, comes joy.
Janet was born and raised in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, but has lived most of her life in the suburbs of Chicago. She is married and has three grown children, two stepchildren and eight grandchildren! Janet’s passions include nature, gardening, family time, reading and enjoying the solitude of the cabin in the Wisconsin wilderness that she and her husband built together.
