My second book is now available on Amazon!!

THE HOSPICE HEART

A journey I didn't have a map for

As much as I loved writing Soft Landing, this book elicits something deeper inside...

I share a bit from my childhood, which indicates that early on I was destined to work in hospice. 

I hope this book helps relieve any fears or misconceptions you might have relative to death.

Hello and welcome to my blog!

My name is Gabrielle Elise Jimenez and I am a hospice nurse, and an end of life doula. In my late 40's, I changed my whole life and went back to school to be a hospice nurse. I am proud of myself for accomplishing this; it was not easy. I share my story in my first book "Soft Landing". I also share some patient stories, and lessons I have learned about life through death. 

​

I have learned so much from so many different people; doctors, nurses, caregivers, social workers, chaplains, volunteers,  and most of all from the patients I have cared for and the families I have supported. I have been given the most wonderful tools and I want to share them with each of you… I want to dig into my wonderful bag of love and give those gifts to you. I want to help you become a better care provider whether it is as a profession, or it is for someone you love who is nearing the end of their life.

​

My goal with this blog is to share my tips and tools, some inspiration, patient stories, life stories and most importantly help to remove that dark cloud that hovers over death. I want you to see what I see, which is love on so many levels, faith that will inspire you, and a death… that can be incredibly beautiful. I want to help you to provide a soft landing for the next person you will be present at the bedside for. xo

Here is a FB LIVE event I did with The Beautiful Dying Expo where I share some tips and tools:
