Not Going Alone

Hospice nurse Penny Terrell has walked alongside countless people in their final moments-holding hands, offering comfort, and witnessing scenes she could never explain. Moments when the dying reach out to loved ones long gone. When they smile at an unseen presence. When they speak to mothers, fathers, children, and even pets who have been absent for decades.
In Not Going Alone, Penny shares these stories-not as proof or persuasion, but as a collection of experiences too beautiful to forget. From a boy who saw his sister with her favorite teddy bear, to an elderly woman greeting her mother on a birthday eighty years too late, these accounts cross boundaries of belief, culture, and age.
Told with compassion and humility, these stories offer comfort to the grieving, hope to the fearful, and wonder to the curious. They remind us that death may not always be an ending-it is a moment of connection that reaches beyond the veil.
If you have ever sat by a loved one's bedside and felt something you could not explain, Not Going Alone will speak to you.
