Linda considers herself an accidental author; her book, she says, essentially wrote itself. Since her mothers death and her books publication, Linda has written and presented extensively about terminal illness, joyful and purposeful living, dignified and peaceful dying, and the journey through grief to gratitude. She is a very vocal and passionate advocate for compassionate end-of-life care, largely out of gratitude for her familys experience with hospice. She currently serves on the Schwartz Center for Compassionate Healthcares National Compassionate Caregiver of the Year Award Review Committee. Before starting her own consulting company in 2001, Linda served as chief administrative officer at Trinity College in Hartford, as a senior executive at jet engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney, and as an aerospace trade negotiator in the executive branch of the federal government. She holds a bachelors degree from Amherst College and a masters degree from Georgetown Universitys Walsh School of Foreign Service. She is married to her high school sweetheart, and they have three grown sons.
