Compassionate and hopeful, Blind Awakening is a remarkable story about the passage between life and death and how that transition affects both patient and caregiver.

As a critical care social worker, Tamura Arthun routinely provided palliative care to dying patients in situations that might depress the average person. When her brother Jeff was afflicted with terminal cancer and blindness, however, her compassion was tested to its limit. Because her parents were unable to care for Jeff's medical needs, she became his primary caregiver for the last few years of his life. Prior to his illness, Tamura freely admits that Jeff's attitude toward life was mostly negative. Strangely enough, the experience of dying made him realize how fortunate he had been and transformed his approach to life in general. His gratitude for all the blessings in his life made the process of dying much easier for him-not to mention Tamura and his loving family.
