The Last Slice: Hospice nurse shares memoir
Longtime Hospice nurse RuthiE Neilan, who grew up in Ronan, shares her memoir, “A sweet Taste of the Last Slice,” during a reading and reception at 1 p.m. Friday, Aug. 2, at the North Lake County Library in Polson. She’ll also participate in the First Saturday event, 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Aug. 3 at the Ninepipes Museum south of Ronan.
Neilan will also play Native American flute – an instrument she regards as “my other voice” – at both events. The author regards the flute as a sacred instrument and its music as a form of prayer.
Now an octogenarian, Neilan recounts her experiences and the wisdom gleaned from more than 30 years of hospice work. “Dying patients taught me about living,” she writes.
