Biographical Sketch: Barbara Karnes, RN, award winning hospice nurse and nationally prominent speaker on the dynamics of dying, authored the four booklets on which many providers of end-of-life care rely: “Gone From My Sight: The Dying Experience (The Hospice 'Blue Book'),” “My Friend, I Care: The Grief Experience,” “A Time To Live: Living with a Life-Threatening Illness,” and “The Eleventh Hour: A Caring Guideline for the Hours to Minutes Before Death.” Her book, The Final Act of Living, Reflections of a Longtime Hospice Nurse is a hospice training manual with heart. Barbara's 30 year career as an end-of-life educator is predicated on her experience as Executive Director of hospice and home health agencies as well as having worked through the hospice ranks as patient care manager, clinical director, staff nurse and volunteer.
