What do you say to someone who is dying? After more than twenty years as a palliative care physician, Andres F. Leone MD has learned that the more important question is: what do they say to you? The patients he has sat with at the end of their lives have been his most important teachers — not about death, but about how to live. That is what his books are about.

Born in South America and fluent in English and Spanish, Andres is also a postulant of the Order of Lutheran Franciscans, a teacher of Christian meditation, and a weekly presence in the hospital chapel where he leads free meditation sessions every Tuesday. His work with Wisdom Grove Publishing carries the same intention as his medical practice: to help people find presence, meaning, and peace — whatever tradition they come from.
