Summary. Did you ever hear the words, "It may already be too late?" What a shocker. How you got to that point matters little, really. What happens while the hour-glass empties becomes the absorbing focus. For anyone who ever smoked and is suffering, for those caring for loved ones with chronic disabilities, and for anyone looking for inspiration in tough times, this book will provide comfort, solid information and encouragement. My Mother's Last Words is an intimate portrait of a woman as mother, wife, sister and friend faced with the diagnosis of severe COPD. LaVerne Fleming faced the end and still prevailed. An intense focus on the surprising effect that giving up smoking had, and a closer look at the people most dear who loved her and took up her battle for life.

WHAT PEOPLE
ARE SAYING about
My Mother's Last Words:

Her physician: 

"How awful to have nicotine dominate one's life!...This book is best described as a love story on many levels...I felt honored to serve as Mrs. Fleming's physician...I first became involved with My Mother's Last Words when the author asked me to assist her with correctly describing the medical aspects of Mrs. LaVerne Fleming's struggle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Because of my extended and intimate involvement with the patient as her general internist and care coordinator, I agreed to write the preface...Over the course of the six years I cared for Mrs. Fleming, the complexity of her illness and its compllications demanded my best efforts to optimize her treatment regimen. In return, Mrs. Fleming offered me the personal connection that does in fact afford a physician the greatest satisfaction to be had in the practice of medicine."
