Larson, Cindy Bertrand: - Cindy Bertrand Larson works as a New Decision Therapist, a cherished role that sees her helping the sick, aged and dying, along with their support networks. She also teaches a workshop for individuals recovering from drug and alcohol addiction and is a facilitator, keynote speaker, puppeteer and author.

Bertrand Larson lives in the Sonora desert with her husband, Terry, and her cat, Sheba. The nature preserve that serves as her backyard, and the beauty of its abundant lakes and trees, give her much joy. Bertrand Larson takes great satisfaction from knowing that she, too, is a piece of the natural world. And she embraces her own journey toward death with sincere gratitude for the breaths she continues to draw.

She has written End of Life Stories to reach out to readers in a state of pain, loss, grief and uncertainty. She hopes that her words find troubled individuals as those of a trusted friend might, and that they provide genuine comfort in a difficult time.
